 He began his working career in July 1948.  His employment career was interrupted in December of 1950 when he was drafted in the United States Army during the Korean War.  After receiving an honorable discharge, he returned home and worked at Hayes International Aircraft (32 years) and was also later jointly employed with Plantation Pattern (12 years) until his retirement.   He advanced to management positions at both companies.

 He celebrated 65 years of marriage with this loving wife, Mary Frances Moore and to this union they were blessed with 6 children and 3 adopted children.
