Mr. Love was born and raised in Oklahoma. He met his wife, Fern, in 1942

After World War II he graduated from the University of Kansas, where he

He enlisted in the Marines in 1942 and was stationed in Guam and China. 
Following the war he remained in the Reserves and was recalled to duty. He 
was stationed aboard the USS Electra during the Korean War. Mr. Love

honored by the officers and men of that unit.

In 1949, he began working for Southwestern Public Service at Roswell, 
N.M., and was later located in Lubbock before moving to Amarillo in 1955. 
After 34 years, he retired as safety and training manager.

Mr. Love was a 32nd degree Mason, a member of Masonic Lodge 18 of Roswell, 
a charter member of the Scottish Rite Consistory at Lubbock and a member 
of the Greeters Unit of the Khiva Shrine Temple in Amarillo. He also was a

Survivors include his wife; a sister, Sue St. Clair of Vista, Calif.; two
