enlisted in the Navy, went to NROTC as a student at Notre Dame, became a Naval Officer, and is a veteran of WWII and the Korean Conflict. Having separated from the Navy, his job search took him to Dayton, Ohio and the E.F. MacDonald Company, later purchased by Carlson Industries, where he worked in the motivation business for 32 years, rising from Copy Editor to eventually becoming Executive VP.
After retiring, his time was spent with Marge and God, golf, and gardening. He faithfully attended daily Mass. One of his greatest joys was to witness his grandson, Fr. Sean Wilson, ordained as a Catholic Priest on May 21, 2016. He played lots of golf and insisted on planting a garden, even this year. He also served as president of the Indian Lake Water Shed Project and volunteered with the Indian Lake Development Corporation, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and Knights of Columbus.
He lived until he died. A life well-lived, indeed!
