He loved to teach his kids how to drive and make sure to watch and stop when the little piss ants crossed the road. He was also know for taking off the heads of the fish they would catch and make puppets out of them or asking us kids to pull his finger.   He did have a serious and loving side to him when he would help us kids with our home work or when our mother was away on a job sitting down with us watching horror movies and comforting us and explaining that the blood wasn't real. He enjoyed get together's with friends and family.
