He joined the Army Air Corp because he believed that dying for his country would permit him into Heaven. His mother died when he was two, and his sisters pointed to the sky and told him that’s where she went. After leaving the military, he learned that salvation through Jesus is the only way to Heaven, joyfully accepted this truth, and lived the rest of his life in holy obedience to the Lord, seeing Him face to face in April 2015 at the age of 90.
