He and Charlene retired to Walden on Lake Conroe and enjoyed almost twenty years with their wonderful friends and neighbors. He was very active in the Montgomery United Methodist Church and their Food Pantry, the Walden Shortknockers golf group, and playing his drums in a couple of bands whenever a 'gig' presented itself.
