I was an All-American tackle at the University of Oklahoma and an eighth-round selection in the 1968 NFL/AFL draft by the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League.

I was a starting guard for the Bills in 1968 playing the entire season and was the Bills' team rookie-of-the-year.  Following the 1968 season, to satisfy my Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) obligation, I entered the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant and arrived in Vietnam in November 1969 as part of the 101st Airborne Division.  I was killed in action on July 21, 1970, when my unit came under enemy mortar fire at FSB Ripcord near the A Shau Valley.  To this day my family, out of respect, refuses to talk in detail about the circumstances surrounding my death.

When I left for Vietnam, I had to say goodbye to his wife and daughter. On July 23, 1970, two days after my death, my wife gave birth to our son.

Former Cleveland Brown Don Steinbrunner and I were the only professional football players to lose our lives in the Vietnam War.
