His great joys in life was the countless hours and days working and tending to the farm in Sandy Lake, PA with late horses, Misty and Thunder. He complained about the work but wouldn't have it any other way. His courage led him to the boxing ring and teaching a gorilla a lesson. He won all of his other fights.
