He was always smiling, dancing, and never met a stranger. He loved to make people laugh. He loved to bowl, fish and sports. His favorite team was the Texas Rangers. He loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys play as well. Most of all he loved his family and would always ask when we would have get togethers if these were all his people and and we always told him he was the one that started it all!
