I believe he must have had a medical problem, maybe as a child because when he'd scowl and be looking at you from 2 directions, it'd make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I was sitting next to him at an Alabama basketball game once when somebody asked him some question that pertained to Coach Bryant and he stared off for a few seconds and then said, "Coach Bryant is a.....mean man". The way he said it was funny as hell!
I have some mutual cousins with JDC. He and my dad were tight once upon a time but I only really knew him in the '70s when he was coaching at NLU(ULM). (As a kid I tried to copy the droopy grin. My mom reslly, really hated it.) I would occasionally see him at weddings and funerals but I never really knew him as an adult. Very friendly man though, and seemed quite the bruiser in his day.

his face was paralyzed from some sort of nerve damage that he got from the forceps slipping when he was born
