Born in Richmond, he had retired in 2000 as a vocational teacher at Hermitage Technical Center. He was a master marine and auto technician and he was awarded “Teacher of the Year” while at Hermitage.
In his younger years, he was a champion water skier and had recently begun his second term as Madison representative to the Caroline School Board. He also was a member of Grace Community Church in Caroline.

The family will receive friends at the center following the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Grace Community Church, 10536 Gallant Fox Way, Ruther Glen, Va. 22546.
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
