He retired from the Colleton Regional Hospital, where he was a well-known and beloved icon as Maintenance Engineer after many years of dedicated service. Work and family were his life. For many years, he was a Cub Scout leader and was active with sports during his children's childhood and young-adult years. He was longtime member of Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church. He will always be remembered for his love of fishing, hunting, and baseball, and will be especially remembered for his willingness to help others.
