Christopher Dial and Dene's 2 sons, Trae Luttrell, and Matt Luttrell. He loved her 2 boys just like his own and never referred to them as stepsons…… They Were HIS boys. In his lifetime he pursued several careers, car salesman, repo man, welding and trading horses as a sideline. He met many of his lifelong friends as a car salesman. He had many hairy stories as a repo man. He did offshore welding, which led to his last career as the owner of Hometown Welding where all 4 of his boys learned their welding skills from him. His hobby was going camping nearly every weekend with friends and family. He loved meeting new people and never met a stranger. To say he loved his grandchildren would be an understatement.
