He was a 1949 graduate of Chippewa High School and served in the Army Corps of Engineers during the Korean Conflict. He married Lois Jane Biehl in Urbana, Indiana on Nov. 27, 1953.

He loved the time he spent with his wife of 65 years working on and enjoying the farm and the trips they took. He was proud of his children and their accomplishments. He and his sons spent many years farming together. He delighted in the antics of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attended many of their events.
