He married Opal Marie Cox, in 1942, and started a family in Eureka, Kansas, then later moved to Oklahoma City to raise his family. After serving his country, he went to work for a local dairy, where he drove a horse-drawn milk wagon. He then worked for Montgomery Wards until his retirement in 1985.
