He was a member of Honor Flight Austin and an alumni member of the US Air Force Airborne Missile Maintenance Squadron in the Strategic Air Command. He was an active member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Marble Falls and was a man of faith.  He loved being with his family, was a friend to everyone he met, and a source of strength for all who knew him.
