He got his nickname as a child on his parent's farm. It was his chore to close the door of the shed where their 1927 Whippet auto was stored, before sundown to keep the chickens from roosting above the car. One day he failed to close the door soon enough and received a whipping the next day as the chickens had left deposits on the car. His younger sister Dorothy teased him about it and the nickname stayed with him. "Chic"
Few people ever discovered where the nickname came from.
He hunted animals and also mushrooms. He was a very good cook.He was known for his good sense of humor and jovial nature. He handed down to his children his nature of always producing quality in any of work he performed. His work ethic was always superb.
He was proud of his heritage and ancestry.
