He received his elementary and second are education from the Fort Smith Public School District. He enjoyed the song “Superstitious” by Stevie Wonder.
Over the years in his life, he developed an awesome skill of cooking, and his specialties were the best pancakes, pizza, barbeque, and German food. He was a cook at Hardscrabble Country Club and Emmy’s German Restaurant. Another one of skills was finding musical knickknacks that played “You are My Sunshine” for his daughter.
For a man who stuttered and could barely get out his words, he enjoyed talking smack, joking around, and making others laugh.
