He served on the Wynnewood EMS Board for more than 8 years, 6 of which he served as the Board President. He resigned in 2019 due to health issues. For more than 40 consecutive years, he has continued to donate funds to support both 4H and FFA members each year at the yearly county livestock show as they showed their respective prize winning animals. He was a proud supporter of the Wynnewood Buyers Group each year supporting youth both financially as well as volunteering his time.
