He was born during the Depression and grew up with no electricity or other necessities. He managed to overcome his adversity and was self-taught in many fields. He moved around quite a bit through the years. He served his country faithfully in the United States Air Force from 1958 until 1961 and was an aerial navigator. He was very proud of his military service. He was a gifted musician and was especially good at the jazz guitar and had been recognized as being a gifted finger picker. He was raised in the Methodist faith. He also enjoyed doing woodworking projects. He was a fan of Ford and airplanes, especially the P-51 Mustang.
