He began while in high school as a summer worker cutting right-of-ways, and he retired as supervisor at the Operating Center in St. Albans. He also worked a second job as a mechanic and is still highly regarded as one of the region's best. Dad could repair almost anything. If he didn't have the right tool, he was innovative and made one. He always knew the "best way" to accomplish any task, and he insisted that we do it his way. Dad was a multi-talented man, a jack-of-all trades, who in his younger days worked from daylight until dusk or later. He enjoyed building and helped construct his home, ours, and two log cabin family homes. He enjoyed wood working and furniture making and made or refinished hundreds of items which he willingly gave away. His gardens were the best since he was a farmer at heart, and he even canned the fruits and vegetables he harvested. No one left his home empty handed. Dad loved working outside and keeping his property and ours well-manicured. He was quite a lumber jack who cut trees, split logs, and stacked them like a professional. Dad passed his work ethic on to all of us and taught us to be disciplined and honorable. When we were younger, Dad took us on country drives throughout WV where we camped, hiked, fished, picnicked, and played family games. Because of our family adventures, we love and respect nature and share it with our families. We appreciate the many skills and lessons he taught us, and we pass them on because of our love and respect for him. We are honoring Dad's request to be cremated, to have no service, and to have his ashes buried at Elk Memorial Gardens with mom. on August 12, 2018.⁴
