His dear childhood friend, Bob J. Bernreuter wrote a fairytale book called The Gift. His mother raised him around the local family restaurant, Deli Restaurant, which was open for 75 years and would give him old coins that he collected.

He retired as a forklift operator at International Paper. He was also an Army veteran and served in the Vietnam War. He had a deep love for his family and friends.
