He was a World War II Army veteran and was part of the “Tough Ombres Texas - Oklahoma Division". He landed on the beaches of Normandy in WWII on Utah Beach on Dday plus two and marched across France and Germany until the war ended. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and eventually experienced a loss of hearing over the years due to enemy bombs. In his later years everybody experienced his infamous “microphone” which enabled him to hear. He had a quick wit and always enjoyed sharing a good joke with family, friends and even complete strangers. If it wasn’t a joke, then it was poetry. However, he mostly boldly and unashamedly shared his faith with anyone and everyone he met throughout his life. He was also known for praying fervently for all his family members by name,

including all his great, great grandchildren. He retired from Ministry after 57 years, having planted three churches in California and Nevada, and ministered to ten of thousands inmates at the Bexar County Detention Center in San Antonio TX for 25 years as a chaplain. He was known for ending his conversation with “are you ready for the Trumpet?” He will be greatly missed.
