He loved people, pósole, anything with Hatch Green Chili Sauce, fishing in Galveston, shrimp, a round of golf (even in the sleet), his grandchildren, hats of various shapes and styles, more shrimp, sharing a good cup of coffee with his friends, but most of all he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

His favorite verse was Colossians 2:9-10 which says, “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.”
