He was a Christian and is now with the Lord. He was a faithful and active member of the Wakulla United Methodist Church. He enjoyed working and helping others. He always made sure the grass at the Church was cut for Sunday morning. He was a truck driver for many years and even after "retiring" a couple of times, he was still active in training new drivers and filling in when a driver was out or extra help was needed. He loved his family and they loved him deeply.
