He was born in Memphis, TN. He moved to Virginia in 1942 and met and married his beloved wife Lola in 1959. The family moved to Bryan, TX in 1962. He opened a hobby shop at the corner of Coulter and Texas where he sold model race cars, maintained a track for them to race on, and model airplanes that could be flown. When demand lessened, he went to work for International Shelters making modular housing. He then worked for Trailite making gooseneck trailers, and after that worked as an electrician for Texas A&M University in the Food Services division of the Physical Plant. He retired after 20 years of service at Texas A&M. He was a talented and inventive person. He had a life long love of airplanes and flying. He knew how to fix anything that broke and was consulted for his advice by both friends and family. He loved working with his tools and spent much of his time in his shop working on various things. He loved hunting deer and elk. He loved his family and his dogs.
