He remained in Fort Pierce until he left to reside with his daughter and her husband, Shirley and Jim Hayden in Michigan in April 2022. He was exceptionally proud to serve his country in the United States Navy during World War II, in the Pacific Theater. He continued his service to our country as a civilian employee supporting the United States Army at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Highlights of his career include assignments at the Satellite Communications Agency (SATCOMA) and the Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Directorate of Material Management (DMM).

Also surviving him is his very best friend who loved and supported him in sickness and in health, Marlene Roske of Vero Beach, Florida.

He was an exceptionally kind person who will be missed by all who knew and loved him. He loved nature, as well as all animals, and cared deeply for a considerable feral cat community that resided on the property of his Florida home. He loved old school country music, studio wrestling, and Fox News.
