He was a master at impersonating his favorite musicians from Ottis Redding, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbinson, Merle Haggard, Buddy Holly, even Janis Joplin to name a few.

He was a man of soul and passion and you could always feel his energy. He was the funniest person with such an amazing personality (next to his daughter Margaret), and the greatest dad. He loved all 6 of his grandbabies and was so proud of each of them. He loved with all his heart and will be incredibly missed.
