Shortly after the family moved to Trussville, he worked for his brother's medical practice in Jasper, Al, where he became the first "Pharmaceutical Liaison" in the state! He was crazy about the nurses, teased them without mercy, brought them gifts, and was very generous when he learned of special needs. He retired recently and enjoyed the past several months vacationing in Destin with his Mom and family, traveling with his wife, and enjoying the lake with his dog, and visits from his children, grandsons, family and friends.
