The newlywed couple lived in Savannah, where he worked as a ticket agent for Trailways Bus Lines. After a few years, they moved to Dublin so he could manage the local Greyhound – Trailways station. Through the years, he also managed stations in Macon, GA and Orangeburg, SC, but the majority of his career was spent in Dublin, from where he retired in 2013 with fifty-five years of service. In the late 1980's, he was recognized as one of the top 100 ticket agents in the nation.
