Salvage. He was also an outstanding fastpitch softball player and a self-taught pitcher for his

always carry his glove everywhere he went, just in case there may be a team who needs an
extra player for a game or two.

fishing, golfing, gathering pecans in the winter and spending quality time with his children and
grandchildren.
