Born as the youngest of seven siblings

Attended only 3 months of formal education

His repeated questioning and his inability to follow instructions irritated his teachers

As a youngster he tried various odd jobs to earn a living

He had a talent for business and successfully printed the Grand Truck Herald

But at an early age he developed a severe deafness which left him 90% deaf

Yet, he did not give up on his dreams
