He grew up in the Ash Grove area where he worked for the feed store. All that knew him called him Noosey. He enlisted in the Army in 1951 and fought in the Korean War, where he was wounded and came home with 2 purple hearts.

After he got home, he met the love of his life, Ruth Chilcutt. They got married on May 22,1953 and they had 3 children from their happy marriage, son David and daughters Pam and Phyllis.

He drove a truck for many years, if he wasn't hauling propane, he was hauling bread, and he took an early retirement at the age of 57, so him and Ruth could travel and go camping. He was always known as Green Hornet on the cb.

He also loved working in the hay field with his son-in-law Roy Dillard and helping him with his cattle.

He loved the Lord and going to church. He was a member of John's Chapel Church.
