In 1995, the Newnan High Athletic Complex was given his name, and in 2003, he was inducted into the Coweta County Hall of Fame. His pastimes were fishing, gardening, and just being outdoors. He loved his family, watching and talking football and bringing up politics for "lively discussion."

He passionately wanted everyone to be the best person they could be and rise above their situation and life challenges. He was an "influencer" of his time.
