Later in life he was a truck driver and earlier in his life he was in the hotel and restaurant management business and much earlier in life he worked in his family’s restaurant business each day after school. He was also over the cafeteria at Castle Heights Military Academy many years ago (those students sure loves his cooking!) He loved life and his family, and friends and always had a bright smile on his face and a positive attitude saying “Every day is a good day! Some days are just better than others. ” He enjoyed NASCAR, all types of sports, playing bingo, (he was also a great cook!) walking, reading, and collecting clocks (large, small and tiny clocks.) He enjoyed going to the Lebanon Senior Center each day and the Cedars Senior Center. He had and made so many new friends there and he felt the love they had for him. He resided at Saddlebrook Apts for the past 7 yrs (and was quick to say that “it’s not assisted living – it’s 55 and over”) he had lots of friends there and enjoyed mingling around, talking with friends there and sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch area.. A special mention to The Pavillion and everyone there that took such special care of him in late 2019. Also to his doctors, Dr. Hardie Sorrells and Dr. Robert Woods, St. Thomas West and St.Thomas Rutheford. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Lebanon and also attended The Bridge Fellowship in Lebanon. He is survived by daughters Anne Betts and Tonya (R.D.)
