Graduating from Syracuse University in 1943 (December) a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering, a member of Tau Beta Pi, engineering honorary, and Beta Theta Pi, social fraternity, he entered the Navy. He served as communications officer in USS NEUENDORF (DE-200), with the 7th Fleet in the Western Pacific during the last months of WW2.

A 50 year member of Newark's St. John's-Holy Angels Catholic Church, he taught in the CCD high school religious education program and served in other liturgical capacities. Recently, he has been a parishioner of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Hockessin. A devoted reader, he was an amateur student of history, also an amateur gardener, woodworker and collector of American antiques.
