He served in the US Navy during WWII and Korea and was one of the oldest US Navy Veterans of WWII in Ascension Parish. He started his business, Ascension Moving & Storage, in Gonzales in 1978 and retired in 2000. After his retirement he volunteered at Dutchtown High School where he became a very welcome and familiar face. He was a Dixie Youth baseball coach in Gonzales for several years. His boys loved him and their parents supported him and became family. His signature cheer of "Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go" still rings in many ears today.

He worked hard every day, he lovingly cared for his wife when she battled cancer, he treated his mother with more love and respect than most people see in a lifetime, he helped raise some of his grandchildren and great grandchildren and provided them with an example of what a man and father should be. He charmed people everywhere he went and will be remembered lovingly by most who ever crossed his path. He leaves a legacy of love, laughter, hard work and dedication to providing for those he loved. Yesterday, was the day his saddle pony stumbled.
