His greatest pleasure, however, was spending time with his best buddy, Lee Davis, and his little lady, Mackenzie. At night you might find him watching his favorite TV series, M*A*S*H or a St. Louis Cardinal baseball game. He was a member of the American Legion and Board President of Spout Springs Volunteer Fire Department.
