He achieved the rank of Corporal in the Signal Corps and was honorably discharged in 1949. During his time stationed in Alaska, he met his future wife, Phyllis, who was a Canadian citizen. They soon married and returned to live in the States. He graduated from Gettysburg College and spent his career employed with United Telephone Company. He retired as Vice President.
