He had a passion for cars, one of his favorites was the Plymouth Prowler. He owned 3 of them over the years. He was known on The Prowler Forum as Alleycat. Always posting on the Forum and in good times, jabbing at other friends about their cars. He attended several Car shows that took him on many road trips over several states with the love of his life Lethia. Lethia was his partner for over 15 years and she preceded him in death back in December of 2016.
