Although he was stricken with Polio at 16, that didn't deter him from pursuing and obtaining a professional career in Dentistry; that became his Ministry. As patients would come to him in fear, he would take time to sit, talk, and pray with them. Often patients left with more than just having dental work completed; they left with scriptures in hand and sometimes a reading assignment.
Aside from work and studying the Word, he enjoyed fishing, old western movies, driving (across country and Canada), spontaneous picnics at scenic parks, playing Chess and Dominoes, and of course his favorite song: "The Spirit of Christmas" by Ray Charles.
