He spent many hours with his grandkids playing what ever games from basketball with his grandsons, Wes and Isaac, to watching movies, and treating them all to trips to the Dollar store and taking Cody Kyle, Wes, and Matthew to fort Fun. He would go to alltheir sports games even driving to Corpus to see the other grandkids games and events.
