He was born in Baxley, Georgia on December 31st, 1919 and grew up in Blackshear and Brunswick. He served in the army as a young man and promptly re-enlisted in the navy when America joined WWII. He served on ships protecting the eastern seaboard and later in the Pacific. He married Mary Alice Peacock and raised her 3 children as his own. He spent most of his career after the war working as a construction boss building bridges and docks from Florida to Maryland. He built his home himself on weekends and entertained his grandchildren in the summer. He retired at 65 and lost his wife to cancer soon after. He remarried Betty Ann Braddock and spent a long and happy retirement doing what he loved, fishing, gardening, and visiting family and relatives.
