He started junkin' at around age 9 and continued until the day before he passed. He was a man of many talents, including painting, woodworking, fabricating metal and mathematics. He assisted in the construction of several landmarks in our area such as bleachers at Zion school, the cross at the top of the First Methodist Church, and basketball goals at several of our local schools. He enjoyed gardening, cooking and spoiling his grandkids with rides on the forklift. He loved to travel and those roads often lead to the casino.   He also had a love for sweets, especially Bluebell Fudge Bars which he often shared with grandkids.

He will forever be in our hearts and will be greatly missed.
