He later moved into the sales administration group, as a district sales administrator which involved greater contact with customers and distributors. He was always professional, consistent, smart and helpful and well thought of by all who worked with him. He remained with Grove for more than 27 years, but later moved into insurance, becoming an agent for Aflac.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Kathy and three daughters, Andrea, Whitney and Victoria and five grandchildren.

His funeral was held yesterday. The family had asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, in Atlanta, Georgia.
