He was raised in the Elkland community. As a young man, he entered the military and served his country faithfully in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged from the Army, he returned to the Lebanon area where he worked as a truck driver throughout the years.
In his spare time he enjoyed reading, and watching westerns and NASCAR. He also was a fan of both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs. He loved his family dearly and especially enjoyed his grandchildren.
