He played guitar in his younger days and especially liked Johnny Cash songs and "Bee Bop a Lula". He loved his family and was a very generous person. While always regretting never having any children of his own, he became a father figure to many nieces and nephews and to generations of feline children: Chip, Boo, LT and Tom to name a few. He loved his home and working in his yard. He took great pleasure in watching the Cubs, Colts, and Tennessee Vols. He is survived and mourned by his brothers, Herman and JC (June); sister, Linda (Greg) Peterson; nephew, BG (Lynn); and nieces, Darlene (Denzie), Deb (Mike), Teresa (Mark), and Kimberly.
