He spent his life building a warm home in Fayette County, where he was known for his work ethic in the coal mines and with the housing authority, his cooking wings at the American Legion Post 705, his bar-b-subskills and sense of humor, sharing drinks with his sons and Son in laws and enjoying his time with his family above all else. He enjoyed reading his Bible, and western novels by Louie Lamour, an avid history buff he knew all about the history of the town and area he was raised in and enjoyed spirited logistical debates on warfare. He also enjoyed farming, raising hogs, chickens, goats, geese and a particular black angus’ steer that tried to best him, and his enjoyment of a good whiskey.
