He was an active member and Deacon of Wayside Baptist Church. He will be remembered for his sharp mind, keen sense of humor and love of his family and friends.

It gave his family great pleasure when at the age of 90, he received his high school diploma from Dadeville High School where had been a star athlete prior to the war.
He loved his Church families at Orr Street and Wayside Baptist Churches, as well as the neighborhood families in Ann Edwards Subdivision. Many wonderful road trips and vacations were made with these lifelong friends. He always knew how blessed he was to have these incredible friendships.
