After a life of “pounding out miles in a truck” he enjoyed the peace and quiet on his ridge in Kentucky, where he liked riding his motorcycle, attending car shows, reading western novels, and watching old movies when he wasn’t down at the local coffee shop catching up on the “local news”. He was a member of the Greencastle, IN Moose Lodge, Cane Valley Christian Church and the Knifley, KY Volunteer Fire Department. Graveside service will be at 1:30 PM on Monday, April 12, 2021 in Bethany Cemetery.
