The family requested the following to be added:
Dad was always a family man. First, last and always. He always took care of his family. Rarely did he have a dollar in his pocket because he would give it to his family. But that didn't bother him.
He was the kind of man to find no enemies and was liked by most people. He was a God fearing, hard working man. Never claimed to be perfect. His prayers and love for life and his family was expressed through music. He had a great love of bluegrass and gospel music, but even that was second to the love of his family.
