At Mizzou, Beep met and married the love of his life, Patricia McKee. After school, Beep joined the Army and served his country proudly. Beep had a long career as a traveling salesman and spent many hours “behind the wheel”. In retirement, he continued his love of driving by volunteering for the CatchaRide program.

Sports were also a big part of Beeps life. He enjoyed following Mizzou, and his favorite Kansas City sports teams. He also volunteered as a youth basketball coach, and played a lot of golf.

However, his favorite passion was watching his grandchildren swim, dance, cheerlead, play soccer, baseball and basketball, and even throw the javelin. He was a gentle giant who was loved by all who knew him.
