He served in the Navy until the end of WW II. My dads first marriage was to my mother Marjorie June Baker 06Jun1941 ended in divorce around 1955. He then met and married the love of his life Velma Maurine Mizell and was happily married for almost 31 years. Dad was always quick with a joke and taught the family how to laugh and have fun while still mainting the integrity of a moral and stable household. The Masonic Lodge was an important part of his life and he kept active becoming Master of two lodges. When he retired from the Telephone Company they were able to enjoy the quiet time with just themselves at home until moms untimely death. We think dad died more of a broken heart than body only 7 weeks after her death. He is still missed...
