He was a veteran of World War II serving two and a half years in the China Burma theater. He came to Mt. Pleasant following his discharge in 1945 and on Dec. 22, 1945 was married to Esther Eicher. Since that time he was a carpenter until his health forced him to retire prematurely.

He accepted Christ as his Savior and united with the Mennonite Church and then transferred his membership to the Methodist Church when he moved to Mt. Pleasant. Burial was made at the Forest Home Cemetery in Mt. Pleasant.
