He enjoyed his work at Aflac Insurance Company, where he was proud to be able to help others in his profession, as he did in in his personal life.  His nickname of “duck” was fondly used by his friends due to his connection with Aflac and the mascot duck.  He made many close friends and connections there and had fond memories of moments shared during company trips along the way with colleagues.
