He was a true Vanderbilt Fan of more than 60 years. He enjoyed tailgating, traveling to games, and cheering for his team. He loved traveling with his best friend, Luke Wyatt. He also enjoyed spending time with family, being the life of the party, and always having a story to tell. One of his favorite sayings was, “Let me tell you one thing,” however, there was always more than one thing to tell. He enjoyed gardening, picking black berries, and telling everyone how to do things.
