He loved Shakespeare, The Bible, airplanes, guitars, muscle cars, and studying the stars. He was an inaugural fan of “Star Trek” but also never tired of watching “Elvis and Nixon,” “Bubba Ho-Tep,” “O, Brother, Where Art Thou, “Ed Wood,” “JFK,” “Citizen Kane,” and all things W. C. Fields, Andy Griffith, Bela Lugosi, and WWII. He tutored numerous students in English and history, collected guns, watches, daggers, knives, guitars, and samurai swords “of steel folded 1200 times.”
He had many friends, some of the longest-lasting being confidantes, Jimmy Wharton, Robert Murray, Kyle St. Jacques, and Jody Jennings.
The family would like to thank Bristol Hospice nurses and aides for their care during the final weeks of his life. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Christopher and Dana Reeve paralysis research or any charity of choice.
