He was a funny, loving, stubborn, and incredibly hardworking man who could always be found
doing something outside. He took great pride in caring for his yard and especially loved cutting
his grass and working outdoors. He attended the University of Georgia, and his love for the
Dawgs remained a special part of his life. He enjoyed watching football, baseball, and soccer,
and he especially loved cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs. Above all else, he loved his family
deeply. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and to his grandchildren, he was
truly the best Papa anyone could ever ask for. He would do anything in his power to make them
happy. He also looked forward to the family’s yearly beach vacations, where he enjoyed making
memories with the people he loved most. His love, humor, stubborn spirit, and the countless
memories he created with his family will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved
him.
