He was an outdoorsman, hunting and fishing whenever he was able. He enjoyed spending time with family and one of his greatest joys was watching his grandkids play ball. He enjoyed reminiscing about the good old days, from childhood through his adult life, where he coached for many years, gaining what he called many more sons and daughters.

In addition to his father, he is preceded in death by his sister, Krissie Speakman.
