His life was marked by 2 life-path altering events--the first his marriage on February 4, 1972, to Beverly Bryan which yielded a family he adored and the second, the surrender of his life to the Lord in 1985 which yielded a strong devotion in him to serve his Savior in ministry to several church families.
