Fuzzy grew up as an avid football and basketball player for Belfry High School. Fuzzy absolutely adored his Belfry Pirates.

Fuzzy stated that, "I like to be able to help people when they come in. I enjoy that. I enjoy meeting people. When I can help people, that's a great accomplishment for me. When I can't help a person, I feel bad and it worries me a little. I dislike not being able to help people who have a valid complaint. This speaks of the person Fuzzy was, he was a people person who was loved and treasured by so many and our entire community. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and treasured him.
