He taught for 30 years in the Center School District and coached for 47 years. He was inducted into Center High School's Athletic Hall of Fame in October of 2012.

His retirement found him enjoying fishing, going to the casino, and spending time with his family and friends. Visits and phone calls from former students and athletes brought him so much happiness, too.
