He met Gertrude in Germany in 1947 and they were married on December 9, 1950 shortly after immigrating to Winnipeg. He was employed as an upholsterer at Eatons, for 17 years and then by the Province of Manitoba until his retirement in 1989. He loved working with his hands both at work and at home.

He sang in St. Peters Lutheran Church choir for 30 years, sang solos for weddings and funerals all for the glory of God. His other loves were family gatherings, the outdoors, family pictures, watching figure skating and soccer, sunsets and travelling. Special thanks to Kevin and Sam (home care) and the staff at the Victoria Hospital 3rd floor for their compassionate care.
