He enrolled as a cadet at North Georgia College in 1954 and that's where he met the love of his life, Juanita Davis. The couple was married on August 9, 1959 and celebrated 55 years of marriage before he lost her to death in 2014. C.R. spent most of his career as the warehouse manager for Parsons, Inc., a family-owned department store.
