He attended church at Capitol Hill Church of God, where he met Betty Lou Scott, and then later in life, they attended Shartel Church of God for many years. At the outbreak of World War II, Dad was working at a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in Wyoming when he returned home to join the Navy.
