He enjoyed family gatherings and seeing friends who became family. He brought the party with him with snapping fingers and loud laughter. He loved deer hunting. He was a lifelong member of the Raider Nation. He also loved playing games with his friends and family. His Moody family: the Ganns, Mouses, Turners all have stories of playing 104 with him.
