He was an animal lover and was well known for always having a dog by his side. He spent many years working with his Father in the construction field. He will be lovingly remembered for his deep appreciation of Jim Croce songs and his interesting wardrobe choices, most notably mixing camouflaged and tie-dyed clothing together.
