He met many of his lifelong friends at Woodrow Wilson High School where he was a football three- year letterman. He was honored to be in their Hall of Fame and enjoyed several years as Hall President. While at Woodrow, he served in the West Virginia National Guard and after graduation attended Pennsylvania Military College.
He worked at Citco in the Chicago area then was drafted by the Army. He often commented how much he enjoyed his service in the First Cavalry, Korea, 140th Armored Division, especially as a cook. When he made spaghetti, officers would come to eat in his mess hall.
