Chooch loved being outdoors. Especially coon hunting, fishing, breaking horses and riding bulls. He loved his family and being around them whenever possible. He enjoyed being a dad and pawpaw. Entertaining was something you could always count on from Chooch. Being silly or telling the numerous jokes or poking fun at those around him. He liked anything country and watching the television shows Heartland and Yellowstone.
