Early in his business career, he worked for Sears Robuck and Company. Then he and his family resided in Wilkesboro, NC, where he worked as an executive for Lowes Hardware.
After he retired from Lowes, he and his wife Ellie lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was a fantastic husband, father, and grandfather.
