He liked watching his grandchildren play sports, especially Nate who was a bit favored… He enjoyed his granddaughters, teasing Darbey, coming to Heather’s farm to see the chickens and Baleigh’s cooking no matter what it was. The Buckeyes were always on the television, and he was thrilled at the championship!
