He had served as an elder and devoted witness of Jehovah. He graduated from Roosevelt H.S. and worked as a journeyman press operator at Standard Register for thirty years. Later he obtained a bachelor's degree at U.C., thereby allowing him to teach printing and graphic arts at the Miami Valley Career Technology Center. While his faith was the center of his life he enjoyed other pursuits as well. Being with friends was a great source of joy to him. His love of music brought much happiness to him and he enjoyed entertaining family and friends. He played a variety of instruments by ear, the violin and piano among his favorites.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York or Hospice of Dayton would be appreciated.

With all the good memories he has given to others, he will be dearly missed.
