He tremendously loved golf and was an avid golf player. Most days he could be found at the golf course. It was known to his family not to have any type of emergency until the final round of golf. He loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys and the Spurs play. His other pastime was going to the movies, specifically for the popcorn! In the evenings, he enjoyed watching Western movies. Wednesday nights, he looked forward to meeting up with friends to play pool at the VFW Post 4700.
He was a family man first and loved to spend time with his family. Most weekends he could be found at home bbqing with his favorite tunes blasting in the background and a beer in hand. Summers were spent packing the family up and driving to the coast. He loved to dance (especially with his wife Emma) and never passed up the opportunity to dance at church festivals or during Fiesta or any other festive place.
