He also worked for All State Engineering Company, BE&K Engineering company, Miller Brewing, and didn’t truly retire until the age of 78.  During his career, he was fortunate to travel near and far to such places as Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, and Germany. He loved all types of music, gardening, fixing cars, antique car shows, Formula 1 racing, fine china birds, bargaining, and was known as a snappy dresser.
