He had a deep love of history and was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He was a long-standing member of the Iron City Methodist Church, the Seminole County Chapter of the Young Farmers, and was awarded Seminole County Agricultural Person of the year in 2020.

He was a man of few words but a heart of pure gold; always willing to help others with as little recognition as possible.
