He was a member of the Chickasha Golf and Country Club and a Charter member of Chickasha Elks Lodge. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Dale and Fred, sister Leona Gill, infant son Andrew, wife Alice, Golden Retriever Josh, cat Sam, and several good friends. He is survived by the people of Chickasha, his family and hundreds of friends.
