He was very involved in the Church his entire life, and it was through church that he met his bride to be. He was a proud veteran of the US Navy. They moved to Luling in 1966 for employment, and has been an active part of the community ever since. He retired from Occidental Petroleum after over 32 years of service. He was active at St. Anthony Catholic Church and then Holy Family Catholic Church, and often volunteered his time and talents to help his parish. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus #2409.
