He married Dorothy Ann Johnson Carter in 1972 & became an instant family of five. They took many trips together visiting many places from Hawaii, Alaska, to Barcelona Spain. While traveling on road trips he discovered a new talent of videotaping scenery while driving. Quickly our new talent was helping him watch the road. He worked for Del Monte Foods as a Forklift driver for 38 years before he retired. He enjoyed his bowling leagues & took pride in his yard. He was a walking road map & could tell you the best route to take when planning a vacation. He never missed keeping up on a wedding or birth of someone in the family & loved to chit chat or "what not" over a nice meal. He was devoted to his faith & made many donations to charities.
