Chubby was a huge Alabama football fan, excellent photographer, athlete, and instrumental in establishing the first street dance which later led to the annual Hank Williams Festival.

He was a tobacco farmer, exceptional gardener, and sold produce. Known far and wide for his boiled peanuts, cooking skills, fried turkeys, chicken and dumplings, banana pudding, and pound cakes. He had an enormous sense of humor and big smile. The love of his life was his poodle, Joy.
