He was born in 1900, one of ten children born to his family when his mother died from the epidemic of the early 1900's. He abandoned school at the age of 8 to start working and helping raise his younger siblings. He met Lizzie Van and they married in 1926. They raised 2 children. His jobs ranged from farming, mining, hauling wood, logging, and raising cattle. He always wore bib overalls. He would even change into his "good ones" if he was going somewhere. He loved to laugh and his favorite treat was coconut bon-bons.
