Many customers were repeat customers along with many that would make pies, or some kind of treat for him as a bonus. He enjoyed anything that involved family and friends and his dogs. Anything from shooting pool, a few rounds of cribbage, a few rings from a horseshoe hitting a stake, to cruising around with a couple of car buddies and anything that involved a long BS session Everywhere he went, it seemed he gained a few more friends.
