He painted many pictures, mostly of places in Kentucky he had special feelings about. He was a strong family man-- family meant everything to him. He worked for his son Allen for many years-- in his cabinet shop, as well as other essential chores. He suffered from diabetes, which eventually caused deterioration and death. At his funeral, "My Old Kentucky Home," was played.
