His favorite saying, “Just a good old boy, that's the truth and I'm sticking to it,” encapsulated his straightforward, no-nonsense approach to life. While he could be a man of strong opinions, those close to him knew of the love he held for his family and friends, and especially for his beloved dogs, Harley and Riley.
