He restored many classic cars over the years, and he taught his teen aged sons how to fix engines, restore car bodies, fish and hunt. Most of all he taught his sons to have an excellent work ethic. He loved his wife, Dot, whom he affectionately called “Nooker”. He had many animals over the years; pigs, a horse, cats, and steers. He held a deep affection for his Boston Terrier dogs.
