He spent his high School years in Germany where his father was stationed at Ramstein Air Force base and graduated from Kaiserslautern High School in 1974. He was a great athlete and an avid hunter. He took so much Pride in this great country he lived in -THE USA- and it showed in every aspect of his life.

He loved more than anything in his life his wife, Kathy Weatherford, his daughter, Jessica Cleghorn, his son-in-law Rustin Cleghorn and his New Grandson, Westin Lee Cleghorn.
