He joined the Army during World War II and received Field Artillery training while stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He was in combat in New Guinea and in the Philippines.

He is survived by 6 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. After he left the military, he went to work at Tinker Field and eventually worked his way up to the Foreman over jet engine welding. These jobs normally required a college degree but he earned the job without a college education due to his hard work and his mechanical ability. He was a loving Father who always wanted the best for his children. He was known throughout his neighborhood as being very mechanical minded and he was always helping out his neighbors by repairing their lawnmowers, motorcycles, televisions and many other items. He never expected or received payment and was always glad to help. He loved to go to garage sales and usually spent every Friday and Saturday doing so.
