He graduated from Murphy High School in Atlanta, GA in1952 and was on the Varsity football, track and basketball teams. He was quoted to be "Tall, dark and most handsome". He worked 45+ years in the advertising and printing industry. He helped come up with the famous Coca Cola Polar Bear theme and numerous other ideas for other well known companies. He had a passion for fishing, camping and hunting. He stayed a big kid until his health recently "aged" him. He loved everyone he met and enjoyed sharing stories. Most of all he loved the Lord with all his heart and made sure that his children would also come to know Jesus in their own way as well. He is at peace now. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date in Georgia because we will be honoring and celebrating both of our parents at the same time before spreading their ashes.
