He was a patient and tolerant man, but Teresa says" when you saw his red face turn white it meant watch out"! He had a way with words such as: "dumber than a box full of rocks, the apple didn't fall far from the tree, get all you want but eat all you get and I'm glad you got to see me".
He loved to travel. Through his work life he traveled and lived in England, Jamaica, Holland, and Panama. He made friends easily and was loved and respected by many.
