He was an accomplished debater. He was one of the few people that could go toe to toe with his older brother Jerry and had Jerry seeking help. His favorite events were the Family Reunions and hosting JSU vs. Valley Game Cookouts. Frying the fish, barbecuing, and feeding the family, that is where he prided himself on being a master chef.
