He was the manager of Agee's Farmer's Market from the late 1940's until he retired in 1991. He was a member of Bellevue Heights Church in Sun City, and was loved by all who knew him- always lending a hand to those in need. He enjoyed collecting and working on classic cars, driving, painting, listening to music, playing the harmonica, Westerns and classic movies, golfing, gardening, dancing, working on projects around house, and spoiling his grandchildren.
