He was a military veteran and served as a corporal in the U.S. Army in Germany and Austria during the Korean War period. He and his wife had a small antique business that they enjoyed in retirement. His interests, other than his family, were horseracing and spending time with his many friends, since he was so gregarious. He loved to laugh and have a good time and was a humble benefactor to those in need in his hometown for many years. His wishes were to have a private family service in lieu of a public funeral. He will be interred at the Mount Zion Cemetery in Highland County.
