He retired in 2002 from the United States Air Force after a 30 year career in both active and reserve duty.  He retired as a ‘full bird’ Colonel and was extremely proud of his service to his country.

He loved gardening, his Arkansas farm, his 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle, watching westerns, fireworks/ anything patriotic, and yelling ‘Woo Pig Sooie’ for his beloved Razorbacks.

His passions included his love for God above all else, followed by his love and devotion to his entire family. He had the utmost pride in his four daughters, their husbands and his seven grandchildren.  He and his wife, Tanya, celebrated 49 years of a wonderful marriage last March 16th.
