On March 21, 1981, he married the love of his life Earline, and together they made a wonderful life, raising 3 children. His world revolved around his family, when his kids were growing up, he never missed any activity they were involved in. Weather it was coaching softball, or marching band events, he was always their when he needed them. Boots never met a stranger and was the neighborhood dad to anyone he met. He worked hard his entire life to make sure they were always taken care of. Later in life he took on the role of Pop Pop, his grandkids were the light of his life, he was by far his happiest when he was spending time with them. He carried on the tradition of never missing a activity and regularly attended gymnastic events, and softball games to show support for his girls. In his free time, he loved to watch the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves. Boots was a simple man, with simple pleasures whom will be missed dearly.
