In 1981, he was the recipient of the Baton Rouge Advertising Federation's highest honor, the E.A. "Pete" Goldsby Award. Active in the community, he was a past president of the Baton Rouge Jaycees and was a regular co-host of the local Muscular Dystrophy telethon in the 1970s and 1980s. He was a highly-regarded media advisor, religious broadcaster, and spiritual retreat director in the two decades preceding his retirement.
