It did not matter the time of the day, if a customer called, he was there for them.
In addition to working alongside his family building the company, in his spare time, he enjoyed playing golf, listening to country music, working outside on his land and watching sports. He lived life to the fullest and was of Baptist faith.

Graveside service will be 1:00 p.m., Monday, December 16 at Pinecrest Memorial Park. Visitation will be 2:00-4:00 p.m., Sunday, December 15 at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home.
