His souped up Chevy S 10 pickup "Blacky" was his prize possession. It was known for head turning, infamous burnouts that left rubber scars on the pavement for weeks.

He spent a great deal of time at Amigo's where he paved the way for life long friendships, full belly laughs and everlasting memories for so many to enjoy.
