He loved the mountains in “God’s Country”, Johnny Cash, making others laugh, conspiracy theories, sneaking salty snacks, his wife’s spaghetti and baked goodies, shirts with pockets, lottery tickets, his wife of 56 years, talking to extended family on Facebook, excessive amounts of aftershave, John Wayne, the U.S.A., his work for Shriners, reminiscing about his military service, his siblings, Fox News (the louder the better), baseball caps from places he’d traveled, his Mama, watching birds from the patio, his children, his grandchildren, and his Lord.
