He graduated from Lake Mills High School in 1953. He married Rachel Zade on August 31st, 1957 and enjoyed a wonderful 55th Wedding Anniversary celebration this year.
He was a member of the Air National Guard in Madison from 1953-1959. After buying his father's home for $1.00, he saved up $1,200 so he could buy a Super M tractor and go farming. He farmed in Deerfield, Fort Atkinson and the big town of Kroghville for many, many years. After retiring from farming, he mowed ditches for the Township of Lake Mills for 10 years.
He played fast pitch softball with the Lake Mills Merchants from 1952-1965. He was a founding member of the church dartball league and played up until 2010. He bowled for 50 years in the Thursday night Maunesha League in Waterloo.
