Uncle Buddy or Big Daddy D as he was called by many attended the University of Alabama before joining the Army where he served in Germany during his tour.

Whether reminiscing of his days fishing, hunting, and guiding on Lake Okeechobee, spending time with his buddies and family, Wampus cats, or the best gumbo he ever put in his mouth, he always had a story to share or a lesson to impart. Rarely did one part ways with Uncle Buddy, Uncle Darwell, or Big Daddy D without hearing him say, “Take it easy!”
