He had a successful career in real estate for many years and absolutely loved South Carolina Gamecock football and baseball.

His faith was an example to all and we are comforted by knowing his favorite verse, 2 Corinthians 5:8 "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". No services will be held locally.
