an Church .in Mocksville
church 0 , ' l
n ^ ' •. •. after completmg the youth
JH communicants' class. He grew
borhood of Mocksville, where
he developed a passion for the
1 outdoors. His love of hunting
= ' ® was fueled by his uncle, Don
\ Beaver, who owned rabbit
and bird dogs, and who took
him under his wing while showing him the ropes. Many
an hour was spent hunting and fishing with his childhood
friends, Donnie Jones and Steve Evans. He remarked that
he spent more time in the woods than he did studying. He
was a.graduate of Davie County High School, class of
1965, and studied architectural drafting for 18 months at
Forsyth Technical Institute. His first job was at Bahnson
Company in Winston-Salem as a HVAC designer. His ca
reer there was short-lived due to the fact that Uncle Sam
came calling, He opted for the U.S. Navy and began his,
fouryears of service in late 1967.His tour of duty centered
around the Philippines and South Vietnam. After his dis
charge, he settled in West Seattle and took a job as a ma-:
line engineer with the marine design firm of Nickum and
Spaulding. He married Joan MuUis in 1974 and they were :
blessed with a set of twin sons, Tun and Scott., in 1976.,
The family moved to Redmond, Wash, in 1977, and weL-;
comed their'third son, Craig, in 1979. His career moved
him to Todd Shipyard in 1985 and then to the Washington ;
State Ferry System in 1992, where he worked as a marine
designer for 26 years. He loved his Job and the people he
worked with, and was officially employed to his last day,.
with a retirement date set for February of 2019, two weeks ;
after his death. Throughout his adult life, his passion for
the outdoors never wavered. He passed on to his sons the
love of hunting, fishing, camping, hiking - .anything that,,
could bring them in closer contact with God's creation. He :
owned and trained English Springer Spaniels for hunting .
as well as for field trials and for years was involved with :
the Western Washington English Springer Spaniel Club,
as a gunner and judge for regional events. His first form ;
of transportation after settling in Washington was a mo-1
torcycle. It was replaced by his lifetime vehicle, a 1977
Chevrolet Suburban (that had 320J)00 miles at the time of
his death) but he got back into motorcycle riding \ years
later. He' was a rriember of Star Touring and Riding Group
(Chapter #219) which took many excursions out across the
west. He enjoyed playing the role as "official tour ^ide"
whenever family members from the east came for a visit.
There were countless trips to Mt. Rainier, Mt. St, Helens,
and especially rides on the Seattle ferries which he helped
to design..He also loved his many remm trips back home
to North Carolina. For many years he visited in late April
•* to enjoy foiir days of music at Merlefest and stop by to
V see his classmate, Deano Allen, and partake in his chopp^
..i barbeque.
