He also worked at the Cotton Gin in Natchitoches, Dr. Wurster Veterinary Clinic and Right-way Grocery, there wasn't anything he couldn't do. During his free time, nothing brought him more joy than dancing. He would travel to local VFW's and never seemed to miss a Friday or Saturday night at J.J.’s to enjoy dancing with the ones he loved. Outside of dancing, he enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing and gardening but his greatest love on earth was his family and friends. He enjoyed many days spending precious time with them. He will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved him. He is survived by his sons, Curtis Ferguson and wife Dawn of Bellwood, Michael Ferguson and wife Cindy of Stonewall, and Stanley Ferguson of Pollock; daughters, Doris Cox and husband David of Paoli, OK and Shirley Broadway and husband Ricky of Panama City, FL; sister, Gertrude Cooksey of Houston, TX.
