He was an extremely gifted athlete and looked forward to a career as a professional baseball player when an injury cut his dream short. He later enlisted in the Amy and served in the Philippines during World War II. His family never tired of his stories of that time in his life. He married the love of his life, Doris, on April 23, 1950. They shared a home with his beloved father in law, Stephan Meichty. In 1954, they moved their growing family to Massapequa Park, NY.
