He was in sales all his career and was employed by Mead Packaging for 33 years. He had been a member of Indian Hills Country Club where he enjoyed playing tennis and made many wonderful friends. He was a 33rd degree Mason and a member of the Yaarab Shrine Temple in Atlanta. He also loved his church, Mt. Bethel United Methodist, serving as an usher and doing volunteer work.
