Zeke served in the Army state side from January 1951, until January 1953. Zeke had a long career working in the oil service industry. He retired from Dia-Log in 1991. Zeke married the love of his life, Odessa Meeks, on March 22, 1952. They had three children and were married for 47 years. Zeke and Odessa enjoyed traveling in their motor home after his retirement to many of the National Parks and spending time with their family. For the last 20 years, Zeke has enjoyed water aerobics at Rose State, morning coffee with his buddies, and supporting OU Sooner sports.
