J. C. graduated from Paris High School, where his basketball team earned honors of Arkansas State Champions. He served his country honorably in the United States Navy during World War II.

In 1946, he became a control buyer at Montgomery Wards in Kansas City; and in 1967, he transferred to the home office in Chicago.
