He was an amazing man with three distinct careers: teacher, incentive travel director and nurse anesthetist.  He taught at Oakwood High School from July 1965 until 1970, then returned for a year from 1971-1972.  He was also an instructor in the Embassies located in Afghanistan and Peru.   Years later he received the Sam Andrews Education Hall of Honor Award at the Dayton Country Club.  Then he joined E.F. McDonald Travel Division where he was an incentive travel director, traveling all over the world with various corporations and their employees.  After that he attended Pace University in New York to become a nurse anesthetist; settling in New Orleans, where he worked in various hospitals, finally teaching anesthesiology in a community college there.  At the same time he was a Life Master Bridge player, competing in countless tournaments.  He retired to the Brethren Retirement Community Cottages in Greenville.  In addition to his significant careers, he was an expert on Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle (traveling all over the world to see productions of four operas) and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.

He will be dearly missed by many of his family and friends.
