He was a graduate of Hanceville High School and the University of Alabama. He received an NDEA fellowship in geography at the University of Wisconsin and earned his master's degree from the University of Alabama in geography and history. More graduate work was pursued at the University of Oklahoma.
He was a retired geography teacher and fruit horticulturist. He spent years developing his fruit collection of apples, blueberries, peaches, persimmons, scuppernongs, plus other fruits, and vegetables and raised honeybees for a time. He loved to entertain with his “historic and geographic tidbits.”
He was a faithful husband to his wife Pauline of more than 56 years. He is survived by his daughter, Theressa Baumann; son-in-law, Kenneth Baumann; and two grandchildren: Austin Callahan and Addison Baumann.
