He was a safety foreman at Bollinger East Ship Yard, though he also worked in several other yards. He was a dedicated youth sports coach at PARD Playground. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with family, especially his grandchildren. He loved laughter, both his own and causing it in others. He tried his best to be honest and funny. He enjoyed watching his game shows, trips to the casino with family, putting together puzzles, and playing as many bingo cards at one time as space would allow.
