He served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict, where he received a Purple Heart. He retired from civil service at Robins Air Force Base, had his own pool business and worked at McCullough Funeral Home. He was a member of Al Sihah Temple, Jeffersonville Blue Lodge, and an honorary lifetime member of Hadi Temple in Evansville, Indiana. His church home was Northside Baptist Church in Warner Robins. Throughout his life, he believed in serving others.
