He was an avid fisherman and mushroom hunter.  He grew a garden which included gords in Columbia, Kentucky.  He had a special cat named "Tiger" that lived with his former wife, Shirley Ann Loy.  He was always looking for treasures ...arrow heads, buttons, bottles, knives, gems and fossils.  He was known for his famous Joe Possum Diner t-shirts.  He played the part of the judge in the movie Resurrection Mary, filmed in Columbia Kentucky in 2003.  In his later years he told God that he would do anything for him and that he wanted to help people get to know Jesus and get saved.
