He loved crawfishing, crabbing, shrimping and jug lining. He loved to be on the water and lived a lot of his retired life with his wife, Livia out in the basin, swamps and rivers on their camp boat "Crow's Nest". The times he spent cooking and being with his family and friends were the ones that meant the most to him. He enjoyed making everyone laugh; he was the light and life of the party. He had a spirit about him that made people happy when they were around him, and a smile that would light up the room. He enjoyed life to the fullest and was an awesome husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend. He touched many lives and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
