He was a very proud card carrying Oklahoma Choctaw Indian. He also had Cherokee and Chickasaw Indian blood. He was an avid baseball fan and loved the St. Louis Cardinals. His passion for the sport led him to join the North Florida Umpires Association in the fall of 2007, where he was an active member until his death. His pro-style technique and his positive interaction with youth athletes earned him a trip to Cooperstown, NY for the Youth Little League World Series. The youth athletes loved him as he was always welcomed with smiles and hugs.
