An accomplished musician, composer, and music teacher, as well as a farmer and electrician, he was locally well-known for playing the pipe organ at the area churches which had one. He studied at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore on a full scholarship until family responsibilities intervened. As a youth, he worked in the Morgan sawmill and furniture factory as well.

Although the youngest child of a large family growing up (33 years younger than his oldest half-brother, Irving), he became the "elder" of his own family of gifted and musical minds, who were not only serious, but could be seriously funny as well! Sunday afternoon family get-togethers at his house were a unique experience, and often resulted in either well-argued debates on unusual subjects, or impromptu classical recitals of various configurations: it might be a solo, a duet, a trio, or quartet, depending on how many were there.

He also loved a good mushroom hunt in the mountains, and was very good at it.
