- The last time he spoke to ex-wife Elizabeth Taylor was a month before her death, in February 2011. She was going into the hospital the next day for symptoms caused by congestive heart failure. He told her she would outlive him. Although they'd been divorced for almost 15 years, she left him $825,000 in her will.
- A construction worker, he met Elizabeth Taylor in 1988 when they were both in rehab. They moved in together in 1989.
- Was arrested in August 1996 for being under the influence of controlled substances, which, his lawyer said at the time, were just prescription pills. A month later he was arrested again when police stopped him for driving an unregistered motorcycle without a helmet and found a loaded semiautomatic 9mm gun in the bike's saddlebag. In October 1998 he was arrested at a gas station for allegedly beating then-girlfriend Kelly Massinger, who subsequently sold stories to the tabloids.
- Was in a coma for six weeks after falling off a ledge at his San Juan Capistrano condo on January 28, 1999 and is unable to work due to permanent injuries from the accident.
- He dropped out of Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California in the 10th grade and went to work as a painter and construction worker. In April 1972 he was drafted into the Army but was discharged three months later.
- [following the death of his ex-wife Elizabeth Taylor] I love her, I always will. And I know she loved me, too.
- [1992] When I'm not working I get kind of screwy. The truth is, I like the work I do. I like the dirt. I like the mountains. I like the big machines.
