He was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.

He was a supervisor for Taylor County RECC where he had worked for 47 years. He earned deep respect of all who knew him for his dedication in that job, both for the routine high state of maintenance of the system, but also for performing so heroically when disasters struck and power needed to be restored.

He was chairman of the board of the Adair County Ambulance Board where he had served for 20 years. During his tenure, the EMS became a model of emergency response; he is given much credit for seeing that service was well-trained, well-paid, equipped to meet any emergency, and that it was always in sound financial condition.
