He was of Baptist faith and was a member of the Gideons International of Ohio for many years.  After retirement he taught part time at the Ohio University Branch.

He enjoyed listening to his oldies music, going to classic car shows, and he was an avid sports fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and Cincinnati Reds.

His greatest enjoyment in life was spending time with his great-grandchildren and if you knew him, you know he had a love for people and cracking his corny jokes.

He will be greatly missed by his family, extended family, and a host of friends, to many to mention.
