When his health permitted, he attended the Sugar Grove Baptist Church in Greensboro. On Oct. 8, 1942, he married Dessie Leora McNutt, who preceded him in death June 19, 1985. He had lived through the great depression and as a young man traveled across the United States by hopping trains to find work. Prior to his death, he shared many stories of his train-traveling adventures with his children and grandchildren. He had a wealth of history to share. He had such a passion for trains that on his 80th birthday he was treated to a train ride to the Grand Canyon by his daughter, Darlene, and her husband, Tom. He had worked at various jobs throughout his lifetime, some of which included farming, the railroad, steel mills, the coal mine, and was even part of the crew that had built a replica of the first boat used on the Erie Canal. He had owned his own sanitation business in the early 1960s, and later retired from the U.S. Ceramic Tile Co. in East Sparta, Ohio. After his retirement, he and his wife traveled around to various orchards in Ohio picking apples and during the winter months traveled to Florida to pick oranges, tangelos and grapefruit.
