- He was the founder of a Miami Serpetarium in 1947 until it closed in 1984.

- His first wife, Ann, divorced him over his snake obsession. His second wife, Clarita, and third wife, Nancy Hassell, supported him.
- You could have a snake for 30 years and the second you leave his cage door cracked, he's gone. And they'll never come to you unless you're holding a mouse in your teeth.
- The snake would bite the mouse. The mouse would die. I found it intriguing.
