Serving in the USMC, he was an Expert Marksman and an honorably discharged Vietnam veteran. He was employed for many years in the telephone industry, most notably as a Regional Mgr. in Houston and a Systems Division Mgr. in Austin, with his last years in the surveying industry. He was an ordained minister, with his first love being the gift of teaching. A drummer for fifty years, he loved to play in any setting. After a lengthy battle with cancer, his fight is over.
“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.
