He was an avid hunter and fisherman, a big Dallas Cowboys fan and Texas Rangers fan. He enjoyed fishing for catfish on Lake O’ the Pines. He and Wanda spent many weekends camping and fishing with their four children. He built five houses throughout his life, as well as a log cabin in South Fork, Colorado where he and Wanda vacationed often. While living in Mt.
