He joined the Army Reserves where he proudly served in the 291st Engineers Headquarters Company for 8 years. He was married to Carol Jean Hoier on March 2, 1957 and enjoyed 31 wonderful years of marriage before she preceded him in death in 1988. They lived in and raised their family in Hortonville, where they were lifelong members at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church.
