A lifetime farmer, he formed and developed the Cherry Grove Dairy Farm, which he, with the help of his two sons, continued to operate until his death. Before farming, he explored several types of off-farm work. He managed the trout hatchery in Marion, Va., and worked with DuPont in Waynesboro. Active in the church and community, he was a lifetime member of the Fairfield Presbyterian Church, serving as deacon, elder and trustee. He was a member of Fairfield Ruritan Club, serving as president and in other offices, and was a member of the Masons, Mountain City Lodge No. 0067 in Lexington, Va., for more than 50 years.
