his hero along with the Beatles. By the age of thirteen he was playing the drums
and became a member of several bands over the years. Some of his other hobbies
included fishing, gardening, and woodworking as well as many others. He was an

Association of Assessing Officers, Vigo County Democrat Club, Harry Truman Club,
Social Lodge #86, and the Elks Lodge #86. He served as a Vice Precinct
