You could always count on him being in the fraternity office in the DAC

number of chapter offices over the years, but I don't remember which ones
or when [at least one was President]. He helped organize many chapter

leadership within the sections and chapters, and is frequently a listener

"I had the opportunity to serve with him at the 1996 National
Convention. We were both advisors to the Rules & Credentials committee.
This being my first time with the committee, his knowledge and help was a
great benefit to myself and the committee. His patience (even at 4 AM) is
tremendous." Steven R. Crawford

of the most deserved that I have seen presented." Jerry Schroeder,
