After the war he was a Professional Truck driver and spent most of the rest of his working life on the road until his retirement.
He was the Father of 4 sons and 2 daughters.
His CB handle was Bald Eagle. He was the most patriotic person I have ever known.
Last Run
Grab a gear, Bald Eagle, as you climb that final hill,
You've traveled a long road and its time for you to heal
Push that hammer down and hold it on the line,
You're on that last run, got to be on time
The angels are waiting to open the gate
The load you've been hauling they're waiting to take
So finish your logbook, the road is all clear
The way will get easier as you shift thru the gears.
Ride on Bald Eagle; you've made a good stand,
Fly free and proud in the Promised Land.
