He retired from Magnavox and was a veteran of the U.S. Army as well as being an electrician. He was also a farmer and loved caring for his land.
He was a member of Fellowship Baptist Church in Greeneville. His faith and family were his passion with such a deep love for wife, daughter, two grandchildren, son-in-law, and cat, Snickers. They all brought him so much joy which helped him from day to day.
His courage and faith in the Lord showed strong; which helped him to make it as far as he did. He was ready to be with the Lord. When you are saved you can have that peace.
