They enjoyed riding and tearing up as well as putting together motorcycles. He loved the 4^th of July. It was his favorite time of year because his daughter’s birthday was near that holiday. He loved camping down at the river and having a good time. He was also known by his friends as his nicknames: Boodro and Bud-I.  He loved people and enjoyed cooking out with friends over.
