He graduated from Pitkin High School in 1951. Upon graduation, he joined the United States Army serving his country during the Korean Conflict. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge 290 in Rosepine. Doc was a faithful and devoted member of Gravel Hill Baptist Church. His prayers were often sermons in themselves. His contagious laugh was one of a kind and he was never afraid to speak his mind. He worked as a forester beginning at Calcasieu Paper Mill and finishing out his career with Boise Cascade in 1991 totaling 36 years of service. He was a distinguished cabinet maker. Adoring his family, he has been quoted saying he wore out ten vehicles watching and following his children and grandchildren participating in sports.
