Spark Plug as they called him worked for Flying Trucking out of Dallas, TX for 15 years and later with Hines Trucking for 7 years out of Prescott, Arkansas until he was unable to drive anymore. He was a very outspoken and blunt individual that never met a stranger who always told you how he see it. He was the person that would make anyone laugh, cry, help you out, build you up and offer advice about life lessons. He had a great love for baseball and was one of the best left-handed pitchers known around town. His hobbies were playing dominoes, Grilling (Pit Master), talking noise and making people laugh (Roast King).
