He owned and operated A One Pump Service in Exeter, Missouri for 23 years before turning the business over to his son, Billy.

As a fan of NASCAR and dirt track races, he could be found in the stands, cheering on his favorite drivers. Going to the horse races was another favorite pastime, but you could usually find him at his shop spending time with his buddies.
