He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. After retirement he continued outdoor sports as well as doing wood working projects for the family. He also was the go to person with any repair project...it was said "papaw could fix anything" At the "young" age of 75, he was game to move to Nebraska where he loved helping brand and work the ground. He also will be missed at the Bunk House Motel where he took care of maintenance until health problems forced him to quit.
