He never graduated high school, but did obtain his G.E.D. He enlisted in the Navy at 17 on Oct. 2, 1952, and was stationed in Japan for several years. He later met the love of his life, Edna who became his wife for over 40 years. They raised 7 children together.
After serving for 8 years he received an honorable discharge from the Navy, but later re-enlisted sometime during the Desert Storm era. He served as a reservist and traveled to Spain. He was promoted to Chief Petty Officer at the time of his retirement back in Oct. 1993.
During this time, he was also employed at the formerly known Western Electric located on E. Broad St. and later retired after 24 yrs.
He was very active with his religious career too, had numerous churches, a radio program, created a monthly magazine to support his organization, World Missions. He was a Bishop in the Church of God organization. He traveled numerous times to India and once to Africa to visit the HIV crisis there. Later he began traveling to Belize and Guatemala to do missionary work and help with building churches in both of those countries. When he could no longer travel, he continued to financially support them and most of the time from his own income.
He was at peace with his life towards the end and told us he had no fear of going home, because he knew he would be with his heavenly Father.
