He wore many hats in life, having been employed previously at Xerox Corporation, Stimsonite, Inc. and Barrier Systems, Inc. After retirement, he earned his commercial driver's license. He drove a school bus for Eastern Pulaski Community School Corporation and Pioneer School Corporation. He was a trucker driver for Custom Farm Service. Most recently, he had found a job that he truly loved - working for the Pulaski County Highway Department. He loved the Lord and truly believed that all things in life happen for a reason. Whether it was in his personal life or at work, he felt that he was put in every situation by the Lord to share the love of Jesus. He enjoyed cars, watching movies, reading books and sharing his knowledge with others. He loved the people in his life who loved him back. His laugh and smile will be dearly missed.
