He joined the Navy at 17 during WWII and shortly after his honorable discharge, moved to Michigan. In Michigan, he met and married Christine (Haddock) on May 5, 1959 and they later welcomed Greg, Kerry and Karen to their new family. He provided for his family working for Pipefitters Local 636 for over 40 years until his retirement in 1990.
