He was born April 15, 1925, in Coeburn, VA, and was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving in WWII and Korea.

He was the Minister for the Church of God in Mansfield and Castalia for approximately six years. Besides his family, he loved his beagles, hunting, fishing, and growing crops on what seemed to be the 100 acre farm.
