He loved his family, and loved meeting and hanging out with family that he had just met from out of state. Most of all he loved hanging out with his Dad! “I remember, I took him fishing one time. He was busy throwing rocks, so I baited the hook, and caught a blue gill, I said, son I’m tired of holing the pole, you hold it, after a while he felt pole tug a little. He said, daddy I got one! I said reel him in son, it might of weighed 2oz. and three inches in length, but when he got back to his friends his arms as long as they were, weren’t long enough when he told the story of how big the fish was.  At that moment, I didn’t know that he was a real fisherman until he told the story to his friends”.
