His people skills and voluntary spirit made him a well-liked and respected individual within the city.

He truly loved watching his beloved St. Louis Cardinals baseball, University of Tennessee Vols college football, along with any other sport that might be on the TV. If you happened to be near his home during the Christmas Season, then you were treated to the annual light and decoration display that he enthusiastically prepared for and installed.

The celebration of life will be held at Englewood Baptist Church on Saturday, June 24th at 11am with his nephew, Jay Cashion, officiating.
