He enjoyed horseback riding with his daughters and enjoyed his time traveling and visiting his son across the country. He loved his grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them. He loved playing golf, his numerous friends and enjoyed spending time with them.

The family expresses gratitude to the health care providers at Duke Oncology, Authoracare in Greensboro and Burlington, to Bethel's Hospitality Committee, to Kailyn Jones (in home nurse) and the many friends who visited and prayed for him during his illness.
