In 1955, he married his wife of 61 years Frankie Guin. Working construction and various trade jobs, he finally began is 32 year career at 3M of Guin in 1964. It was in Guin that his four daughters were raised and his home created. Attending the Guin Church Of Christ, he touched many lives through his Christian example, sweet spirit, and eldership. He led sweet, thoughtful prayers and visited many sick and shut ins.
Although graduating from Hamilton, the Raiders had a special place in his heart. He traveled many miles and places to watch football and baseball games, especially when his grandchildren and great grandchildren were involved. If you walked into his home on Saturdays in the fall, the Auburn Tigers would be on TV. Even up until the last game he still asked about the Tigers.
