He was known for his love of his family, his compassion toward others, and his work as a radiologist. He touched many people in a special way.

After graduating from the University of Kansas Medical School, he served as a medical officer in the CCC and in Algeria during World War II.

In 1957, he married his beloved Ann [Schwarz] and settled in Avon, CT to raise their children. He eventually moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL where he enjoyed golf and volunteering at the town's library. In 2009, he and Ann moved to Peabody, MA, to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
