Horses was another thing he enjoyed. He enjoyed playing music. He played the guitar and harmonica. He also enjoyed other instruments. He had different groups he enjoyed playing with, but cherished most, the time he was able to play music with his Dad and Uncle and other relatives.

When driving the taxi cab, he often transported children to school and listening to them share what was going on in their lives to make them feel special.
