He retired in 2017 from O'Reilly Auto Parts (he's still waiting on that vacation pay, Roy) He was best known for his secret snack stash, mumbling under his breath about "not taking the whole neighborhood to raise" while loading up half of said neighborhood in the car to go eat, bringing his wife dinner at work every night almost without fail, doing all the cool grandpa stuff with his grandkids, and of course, his most memorable quote, "I guess".
