He served with the Navy during World War Two although he was under age. He later worked in the telephone industry. He enjoyed fishing and tinkering in his shop. He was a gentle good man who died too soon from colon cancer.

His parents seem to have moved often throughout western New York State during his childhood. He once told me of living in an old farm house in Middlebury, NY as a child, as well as an old house on Creek Street in Penfield, NY and walking to school in the late 1930's to the brick schoolhouse on present day Atlantic Avenue. The school house building still exists, as does the old house.
