He walked his talk.  His wife, Jean, let him know how blessed she was to have him.  His sons let him know how thankful they were for his being a father to them. He enjoyed his grandchildren’s accomplishments and was glad to hold his great grandchildren in his arms and tell them of his love for them.

He worked for Parnell-Martin Plumbing Supply with 20 years of service, and was a member of the River of Life Church of God.
