Family was everything to him from an early age. He lost his father at the age of 6 and felt like he needed to be able to take care of his mother. As the youngest of 8 most had married and moved off and had families of their own. As soon as he was able he join the Army and volunteered to go to Vietnam for war pay. That way his mom would have more money sent to her. Up on returning from the military he went to Calhoun Community College for Barbering on Military funding. Once he got his license he went to work for Craig’s Barber Shop. One day they ask him to come to Owens Cross Roads Church of Christ. That is where he meet his wife of 51 years Charlotte.

As a young boy he was baptized at a tent revival by a Baptist preacher. But later was re-baptized at Owens Cross Roads Church of Christ where he found his true faith in God.
