he had as a child and still hanging out at the
local gas station/restaurant with many
of them.

He can't count the number of grandkids cause not enough
fingers and toes .
He is accomplished in electrical work, swimming
pool installations, mechanics,

the scariest of all is the antennas that he
built, carrying the parts to the
