He taught English as a Second Language and also was a youth minister and bible instructor at the Date Street Baptist Church. Not only did he rejoice in the word of the Lord he was also filled with the passion of his songs. At the church he was also the music director. Every Sunday and Wednesday he led the congregation in the singing of his favorite hymns. During that time he had the daunting task of working at the Excel Meat Packing plant for over 20 years.

His love of traveling and kindness also served him well as a shuttle driver in Tucson for many years. He worked at Home Depot the last 2 years of his life. He loved nature and loved people.
