He was known for his easy laugh, and love of simple pleasures. He could often be found fishing, shooting pool, throwing washers, or having a good cold one with friends. These weren't just passed times to him, they were moments of pure joy. He greatly appreciated hanging out with friends and family. You could often find him with Mike Friend, or especially his niece Lisa Frazier as she was his caregiver and best friend!
