He served in the United States Army from October 2, 1952, to December 1, 1954, as a cook. After discharge he worked in many industries but mostly pipeline, logging or truck driving. He faced many long difficult days but always with determination and grit. In later years he enjoyed traveling the country and seeing the scenery, visiting with friends and was always ready for a good meal especially a shrimp boil or a fish fry. He was known to try about any type of food at least once. And often said it didn’t matter what food cost as long as it tasted good. He was born again on October 10, 2024, when he confessed his sins and asked Jesus to be his savior.
He was always a thinking man and had many memorable sayings that effectively made his point. He taught us much in life and we are all better for being part of his life.
Burial will be held at the Camp Cemetery of Camp, Arkansas.
