He enjoyed watching old western movies and investigation shows like CSI Miami. He liked going to aviation museums and looking at Vietnam planes and memorabilia.
Shirley was an amazing mother and wife. She loved going to church and reading the bible (she had about 50 copies in her home at all times). She enjoyed going to yard sales and thrift stores trying to find that diamond in the ruff. She constantly bought items to donate to the local schools and church. She was a very thoughtful person who would make cards for the local nursing home residents. She taught vacation bible school and Sunday school. She was a crusader for the underdogs, always helping people that were down on their luck and needing a hand.
