Goose was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. He was especially fond of his friends from Collinsville Hunting Club. He was often a coach to his children during their baseball and softball years. Goose worked as a pipe fitter/welder for many years before working with the Lauderdale County School Systems prior to his retirement.  He loved his grandchildren who were his passion in his later years; he loved spending time with them any chance he could from fishing to athletic events.

Siblings Charles Hayes, Linda Goss (Sonny), and Larry Green (Sylvia), as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
