He served in the Navy as an Airman 3rd class  in San Diego, California during the Korean conflict.  For 31 years he worked as a salesman  of school supply products for Mead Paper Company where he loved meeting the needs of his wholesale customers.   His favorite pastimes  included spending time with his beloved boxers Jake and Chico, golfing, fishing, and keeping his yard and shrubs immaculately mowed, edged, and trimmed.  He was an avid “42” player and loved playing with his friends.
