He had various jobs until he came to American Auto Hikers, Inc. where he worked for the last 20 years. He loved listening to music and spending time with his friends.

When asked when did you hear that song, he would reply, “I learned it from church when I was a little boy.
His parents and brothers Laverne, Rotell, and Arnold preceded him in death. He leaves to cherish his memory one sister Gloria and one brother Sanford (Sue Carol) a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
