His younger years were filled with hobbies, including being a pilot, auto crossing, and his horse, Lindy.  He owned several businesses during his life, including a mechanics shop and a Christian bookstore.  He then moved several times to follow the Lord’s direction to serve in various ministries.  He was an ordained minister and dedicated his life to God’s will. He was most lately of Amarillo, Tx.
