Tuz served in the army and retired from Odd Lots. Upon retirement he loved to fish with his son, James. One of the things he enjoyed the most was golfing with his buddies, Jeff and Bobby McCombs, and then going to their favorite watering hole, Roosters. A special thanks goes out to the Frye family who were always there for him making sure he was comfortable in his time of need. The Hoosier family was there as well buying pecan turtles, making him brownies, and bringing him food that he craved even when he couldn’t swallow or eat them.

Tuz was a private man, gruff at times, but loved by his family and friends.
