Many afternoons he could be seen playing kickball with his grandchildren. He was also very fond of hunting on his property in Alabama with his son, Matt. He seldom missed watching an Alabama Football Game: ROLL TIDE!!! He loved country music, hunting, fishing, visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, and making wonderful memories with his family.
