Eagle was a Vietnam Veteran that served in the Navy and Marines. He embraced his Cherokee heritage and enjoyed going to Salt Creek SunDance, PowWow’s and various other ceremonies. Eagle had a knife sharpening business in the Flea Market where he also sold old military gear at. One of his greatest joys in life was spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and he never met a person he could not turn into a friend, if he wanted to.

Eagle loved his family and friends and recognized how fortunate he was to have most of those around him.
He enjoyed sharing the good stories of his life and he managed the memories that needed to be put to rest .
His love of his grand kids and wife Ruby were his first priority with Nascar a close “recorded” second.
it was always a challenge to keep the race results a secret as he had a routine to watch it after a family weekend event.
His gentle manners and patience were acquired and learned .
