He’s the reason my son went to Troy. He would let my mom ride to away games on his airplane.

He owned half of Cullman and was a major role player in its growth. Always handed out $2 bills with his picture on them and you never saw him without a bowtie. He had a blonde woman that was his right hand and drove him a many of miles, seems like in a vett up to a few years ago.

I wondered what he did to become successful. Said he was on Troy university BOT. You don’t sit on a university board without having a crap ton of money. Gonna name a building after him they said. RIP old warrior and thank you for your military and civilian service.

Drinkard development, tons of shopping centers. I think he started with a Chevy dealership. He had some stuff going in Hazzard KY and they liked him so much, they named a street in his honor.
