He was born in Green Cove Springs, Florida but has been a resident of the local area since 1973. He was a retired school teacher with the Aiken County School District.

He was a member of the Masonic Star Lodge #99 in Graniteville, S.C. He was a dedicated member of Christian Heritage Church, where he enjoyed singing in the choir. He was a loving father, brother, grandfather and friend. He was just what you would call a well-rounded "Southern Gentleman", who will be greatly missed by his family and all whose lives he touched during the 65 years that God granted him on this earth; however, he has now completed life's journey and is at peace with his maker, the Lord Jesus Christ. Earth's loss is truly Heaven's gain. The family will receive friends at Christian Heritage Church on Ascauga Lake Rd. in Granitevillle, S.C. Monday evening, February 17th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. A service celebrating his life will be held in the Church Sanctuary at 12:00 Noon on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 with Rev. Stephen Phillips officiating.
