He was a graduate of Smithdeal-Massey Business College. He faithfully devoted his time working at Alcatraz Paint Company and AARP Pharmacy as office manager.

Special thanks to the staff at Discovery Village of the West End, especially Valencia Rogers and Elizabeth Bowers.

His remains rested at Bennett Funeral Home, Glen Allen, where family received friends and fun stories on November 5, 2018. Graveside services were held at Greenwood Memorial Gardens on November 6, 2018.
