He was very passionate about his family and loved spending time with his kids and grandkids. He had a great sense of humor with many memorable sayings. He followed Boise State University football, NASCAR Racing (go Jimmy), and golfing. He always enjoyed watching a good western, especially if John Wayne was involved.
