He joined Bethany Baptist church at a young age and attended Bethany School and Hanover Training School. He was drafted into the United States Army and traveled to many places including Kentucky, Washington State, California and Japan. He fought in the Korean War and was discharged in 1952 as a Corporal. Because of God’s grace and mercy and the prayers of his family, he came safely home. He then gained employment at Kingans (Hygrades) where he worked as a ham boner. When Hygrade closed in the early 70’s, he gained employment at the ABC Warehouse and served on the Equal employment Opportunity Advisory Committee and retired in 1992.

He served on the Male Chorus at Bethany Baptist Church for 20 years or more. He loved singing and loved being in the choir and was instrumental in getting other men to join. Unfortunately, he had to step down from the choir when his eye sight made it impossible for him to drive at night.

As he called himself, he was a Jack of all trades. He said if he and his brother Doc couldn’t fix it, it couldn’t be fixed.
He always said he had many nicknames, Piggy Doodle, Pettifour, Cap Man, Al and many more but Bug is the one most everyone knew him by
He was a missionary at heart. He always wanted to help others and was known to visit the sick and shut in and those in the hospital. He was always giving kind words to those he met whether he knew them or not. But most of all he loved his family more then anything in this world.
