He married the love of his life; Donna Kay, and they have been inseparable as best friends and soul mates. As an avid fan, he loved attending and supporting his Georgia Dawgs. What a man he was, always taking care of the world, full of wisdom and always enjoying a good laugh. He was affectionately known as "Da" to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
