He logged more than 5,000 hours, visiting domestic and foreign airports in his 22 years service. Retirement did not suit him; for the next 15 years he was lock and dam operator on the Arkansas River, with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, first at Oppelo, then at Dardanelle. He joined Petit Jean Masonic Lodge #298, at Ola in 1949, and later was District Deputy Grand Master for two Arkansas Grand Masters. He was an instructor in the work until his death.

His daughter, Elora, with family and friends, already miss him, and know that his spirit lives on in those he knew. Wholehearted, obliging and cheerful, neat and proper at all times, with good judgment and enthusiasm, he was always ready for a celebration.
