This of many attributes showcased his nature to helping others. He will be remembered for his great storytelling abilities, which often resulted in belly-aching laughter. He found joy in lightening others' burdens whether it be helping with their cars, filling stomachs, or dancing goofily. Despite all that he did for others, he did not expect much in return; a simple "thank you" was often enough. His final earthly home would be in Florida, a place where he could spend his days sitting on beaches and enjoying life's priceless gifts like sunrises and sunsets. In his final years, he made a point to frequently reach out to his daughters to express his love and pride in them. His daughters now reflect on how much his selfless love has impacted their lives. He was also a spiritual man who found great comfort in reciting Bible scripture and his relationship with God, knowing that he would eventually be reunited with Him. PeeWee was a shining example of a truly genuine man with a big heart. He will be deeply missed by friends and family but leaves behind countless memories of joy, kindness, and laughter.
