As the Vice President at Woodbury Tech, Huey made significant contributions to the company and created many enduring relationships throughout his career. With an Associates in Technology, he was equipped with the skills that he needed to empower others. He later retired as a mechanic from Cox Enterprises. Huey was known for his larger-than-life personality—an easygoing jokester with a good sense of humor, he had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome. He never met a stranger, and his love for life was evident in his passion for food, as he enjoyed feeding those around him.

In addition to his professional life, Huey embraced diverse interests. In his youth, he was baptized at Beulah Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia. He coached youth baseball and he cherished the time spent playing golf with his brother-in-law, Raymond. He enjoyed participating in baseball with the Ruritan Club and he found joy in board games and puzzles. Huey's commitment to his family was one of his proudest accomplishments. He took great pride in sharing his journey through Ancestry. His loveable nature and commitment to nurturing family bonds will be remembered fondly by all.
