From the years 1949 to 1974 he earned a bachelor of science in social welfare, a bachelor of divinity magna cum laude, a masters of social work, a masters of sacred theology, and a doctorate of theology. In 1957, he was ordained as a minister in the Church of God based in Anderson, Indiana. He professionally served in many roles as a pastor, associate minister, a licensed clinical social worker, a professor, a dean, a counselor, and a director of pastoral counseling. He touched and helped many lives over the years.He was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He was a faithful member of the Cypress Street Church of God for 36 years where he sang bass in the choir, taught Adult Sunday School, and preached on occasion. He loved to fish, sing in quartets and duets with his wife, Vivian. He was a general fan of many sports, but an avid LSU fan. In his earlier years, he pitched in all types of softball (which is probably why he needed his shoulder replaced a couple of years ago), he loved to play tennis, and he owned a set of golf clubs, which were used occasionally. Up until the very end, he greatly enjoyed and instigated many games of dominos especially Mexican train even though he lost most of the time. However, most important to him was the love for his Lord and for his family.In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Cypress Street Church of God
