He had a very strong memory of about 600 songs and knew the presidents front and back. He was a faithful member of East Columbia Baptist Church. He loved all kinds of sports, sometimes playing as a one man team for volley ball. He was married 31 years and loved his wife dearly. He was a Free Mason and Town Marshall of Tylertown. He was lead singer of a country group, Marshall and the Outlaws. He was extremely kind hearted, loved telling jokes and playing cards. He loved his life and he will be missed.
