He liked to travel to Barbados, where his love for island music was born. One particular band that he enjoyed was The Merry Men. This was a band that he and his best friend Bob Anderson enjoyed together. Also his amazing talent for wood working kept him busy. Always creating something new. He loved to build furniture, bird houses, and folk art. He never wanted to see good wood go to waste so most of his things were built out of recycled wood. In 2002 Katelynn, and then in 2004 Becky Boo, his beloved grand daughters, were born. He now had a new passion teaching them how to tinker with hammers, nails, wood, and glue and banging on the drums. They loved all the time spent with him.
