He started working as a commercial fisherman “Shrimp Boat Captain” at the age of 14, and working into his 50’s and only retiring 8 years ago. After retirement you would often find him kicked back, listening to his country jams or his favorite classic rock n roll tunes. He loved to cook and eat Southern food. He enjoyed spending time with his family but also enjoyed the Solace of alone time. He was also an avid Alabama football fan and enjoyed spending game days yelling “ROLL TIDE” at the television and anybody else that did or did not want to listen, when they scored. 

“Poppy”.

As he was affectionately called by his grandchildren and great grandchildren. A loving and devoted father, grandfather, brother and friend. Often professing the pride and joy he held in his children and grandbabies his “legacy” saying things like “if I hadn’t gotten anything right in my life I did with you guys” being the proud Poppy and father he always was and forever will be.
