He enjoyed watching westerns and comedies. He took pride in the house and property he had owned on Sims Hill Road which had belonged to his beloved aunt and uncle, Lorna and Coy Heaton, and where he spent a great deal of his childhood. He lived a life of simplicity and loved it, though it was difficult at times. He suffered a stroke in July, 2021 that left him unable to speak but through hard work he regain his ability to walk and even lived on his own a short time. He fought valiantly. His strongest desire was to go home and now he is.
