He enjoyed fishing and coffee with his brother, his Buick Lesabre (although he loved many hot rods) and karaoke. He was popular around Halloween, scaring many kids with his chainless saw and winning many costume contests. He was a gifted salesman and engaging storyteller. Remembered for his “Witching Woods” tale. He had a great imagination. He was an inventor and songwriter. His family remembers his theme song “Calgary” and his rock tune “Ticket to Hell.” He loved his canine best buddy Snoopy and wearing high top shoes but above all else, he loved the Lord.
