He enjoyed spending time outdoors and cherished the time spent with family and grandchildren. He was a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan and had the opportunity to attend several of their football games.

In 1972, he was drafted into the Army. While serving his time, he traveled to places such as New Jersey, Italy, and Greece. In 1972, along with two other military members, he was chosen to escort Mrs. Universe in Athens, Greece. It was a once in a lifetime moment that he continued to share until this day.

He worked as a parts manager for over 25 years at Phil Carrell, Ross Hyden, O’Neal Motors, Desert Sun Motors, and Ford Town. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
