He worked at International Paper Company in Corinth for 42 years, retiring as power plant foreman. He was a member of the Quarter Century Club of the mill.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing golf, pool, and darts. He was competitive and loved to joke around. He had special nicknames for his family and friends and his nickname was "Yupper".
