Soon after moving to Jackson, he started work at Scanlon-Taylor Millwork Company where he was employed as a draftsman until his retirement in March of 1984.  In March of 1944, he married Clara Mae Griffin and they spent her remaining lifetime raising four children. After her death in 1982, he married Virginia Britt and moved to Cleveland, Mississippi to enjoy his retirement. After a minor car crash resulting in Virginia having a stroke, however, he moved in with his son, Alton near Nashville, Tennessee. He remained there until after Virginia's death when he returned to rural Simpson County, Mississippi where he now resides with his daughter, Barbara. At this time he has three surviving children, six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Throughout his life he has served as pastor to numerous churches, and while at age 86 he considers himself to be too "unreliable" to pastor a church, he is still a frequent preacher and constant attendee.   His faith in God and belief in the church remain firm to this day as is plain to see for all who know him.  It is difficult to say when he first felt moved to author a set of biblical commentaries, but I am aware of some hand-written copies dating as early as the mid 1960's. As he has only in the past year or so completed the work, this makes his commentary a work more than 45 years in the making.  While he lacks much formal education, few could claim to have read and studied more in the Bible itself, or to have spent more time, care, and prayer in the production of a set of beliefs concerning it's meaning.
