His daughter Lily recalls: "My father would do a little carpenter work from time to time, and several times signed up on a ship as a cook which travelled to Baltimore or nearby, but he never seemed to have a job for long". Also: "My father was one of those easy-going likeable persons, and I can never remember him actually losing his temper. I think it was too much effort for him." His daughter Mary seems to recall he also worked as a watchman on a ship. He and wife Josephine had eight children, plus a 9th, a twin of son Howard, who died at birth.
