After several years working for Halliday Lithograph, in 1966 he started his own business, retiring in 1996. He was also the wire inspector for the Town of Rockland. He was active in the Jaycees, played tennis, golf, and bowling. His love for singing was on full display as a member of a local group named “The People Next Door.” He and Marcia traveled to Europe as well as many places within the US.
