He worked many years in the auto parts business. When he decided to open his own "JP'S AUTO PARTS". You could usually find him smiling and singing some old song. If you knew him for very long, you would soon discover he was very comical, humorous and you would probably end up with a nickname. He loved to watch sports especially Razorback football and basketball. He also enjoyed working in his yard, his garden and being with his family.
