There was nothing he could not fix. Everyone who knew him, knew what a great man he was. He loved all of his family and friends unconditionally. He was an outdoors man. He could never stay still. He was either crabbing, craw fishing, shrimping, hunting, or working. He did carpenter work along with commercial fishing. He loved telling everyone stories from the past whether they were true or not so true! He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Most of all, he loved being with his family. He will be missed terribly by all who knew him!
