He was a proud veteran having served in the United States Navy. He was a retired auto mechanic with General Motors.

He loves his daughters more than anything. He loved to fish and spend time with family. He enjoyed working in his yard or on his car. He was the family "handyman." He enjoyed being our "on call" handyman. He was an old soul and loved putting a smile on everyone's face. He always had Baby Ruth candy bars in the jar for the family, and pickles in the fridge and he made the best sweet tea. Having breakfast at Hardee's was one of his daily routines.

He was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

A visitation will be Sunday, November 7, 2021 at Woodfin Memorial Chapel with visitation from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. with Military Honors at 2:00 p.m.
