He taught 3l years of grade school in Noblesville, Indiana. After school he was involved in being a coach to several little league softball teams. He involved himself in that community with various activities all those years. After 4 years of retirement in Noblesville, he decided to return to his beloved home town, Rose Hill, Virginia.
He was a member of Morgan Memorial Methodist Church and the Lion's club. He contributed many education scholarships at LMU to single Mothers for many years. He led Bible bingo classes at Tri State Regional Nursing Home in Harrogate, TN. He was continually on the lookout for community activities in which he could participate. Overall, from being a leader in the church to someone who would mow a yard for a stranger, he always was busy and happy with whatever project he took on. He lived a very fruitful life.
