He had the pleasure of owning various wrecking yards over the years, where he was considered a walking encyclopedia on cars and car parts. Then later, he worked at Chip's Grand Tire, Nation's Towing and most recently at Farm and City. But what he loved doing most was spending time with family, hunting, camping, fishing, and all things automotive.
