He was born on January 28, 1916 in Chicago Heights, Illinois. While stationed at Camp Chaffee in Ft. Smith, AK, he met and married Hazel Hill. He was then sent to Europe where he served honorably in General George Patton's Third Army and stayed there for the duration of world War II. Returning home to America he moved his family back to the Chicagoland area where he worked at the Inland Steel Company until his retirement in 1978. He was a mechanical Foreman after getting his Associates Degree from Purdue University.
When he married Hazel, his loving wife of 58 years, he promised her that if she agreed to move to Indiana and live there, they would return to the South after he retired. True to his word, they moved to Edmond, OK. Where he designed and built their present home.
He loved to work with his hands, There wasn't any thing he couldn't repair. With his great mechanical aptitude he was first class "Mr. Fix It." He also had a compassionate heart for his fellow man and loved animals. Our pets were pampered members of our family.
He was Deacon at Fairview Baptist Church and an Ordained Minister who loved and served his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, faithfully all of his life.
