Notable quotes:

In 301: No Rest for the Wicked Grant Jameson recommends him to the investigators as the owner of the tavern in New Salem and one of the few good folk in town.

In 302: The Huggening he welcomes Billy and Dom to his tavern, the best-kept building in New Salem, after they mention Grant Jameson. He calls it "this forsaken town," says the locals still treat him as new after ten years, and tells them where Mordecai Shep lives. He also mentions the haunted Warthrop ruins and an unusual number of strangers, including a young man seen at the ruins. He serves bootleg liquor, rents the group rooms, and asks whether they are with the other new arrivals before drawing them aside to speak privately.

In 303: The Grand Slam he warns Billy and Dom that Ike Watson is a psychopath and tells them to watch out for the newcomers in suits, Constable Zeke Dawkins and the Mayor. He says that he is from the city and that Grant Jameson is a good friend who tells him war stories. He invents an all-day breakfast he plans to call "the home run," adopts the Major's suggestion of "grand slam," and serves the first Grand Slam at Denny's on the house. That evening he identifies a well-dressed young stranger in the tavern as the kid seen at the Warthrop place.

In 304: Pet, Cemetery he gives the investigators a 7 a.m. wake-up call with a Grand Slam waiting for them, and he bustles around a tavern where the new breakfast is catching on. He clearly loves the work, even though he does not seem to like the town.

In 305: The Shining... Skin the investigators identify Mordecai Shep's body partly from the description Ezra gave them.

In 309: Boom Goes the Dynamite the group chooses his tavern as the building to fortify against the coming horde.

In 310: Salem's Lot he lets his tavern become the group's stronghold and rides with Billy McConnell to bring townsfolk to the cemetery tomb. When Delilah and her son turn up missing, he searches with Billy. After Jacob Alister's death he takes up a revolver to go after Ike Watson, handling it like a man who has used one before.

In 311: Beefing the Defenses he approaches a shack on the east side of town with Billy McConnell, gun ready.

In 312: Edge of Sharkness he wounds Ike Watson and shoots Levi dead during the raid on Ike's shack, then helps get Delilah and Zachary to safety.

In 313: The Arrival he returns to Denny's in Billy McConnell's truck with the captive Ike Watson.

In 314: The Siege he keeps Delilah and Zachary away from the windows of Denny's Tavern and then leads them to the stairwell as the creatures break in.

In 315: Legends Never Die he tries to get Delilah and her son away from a creature breaking in upstairs, and his cry for help brings Tallahassee Turner running.

In 316: The Last Stand he leads Delilah and her son out of the burning tavern and is with them, holding Delilah's hand, when the fighting ends.
