Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Maurice believed it was his patriotic duty and enlisted in the Army Air Corps where he served faithfully until his honorable discharge in 1945 at the close of the war. Maurice and Cleo moved to Madera in February of 1946, where they made their home and raised their family of four children.

Maurice was a devoted husband, dad, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend. He enjoyed many glorious years as a member of the Madera Camera Club.

His photographic vision was unique and reflected the singular individual that he was. He translated his love of God and God's creation through his photography.
