He was employed as a technician for the J. A. Conley Company, Diebold, Inc., and the First Merit Bank of Akron, from which he retired.
He was a lifelong fan of Cleveland sports teams as well as the Ohio State Buckeyes and Jackson Polar Bears. His hobbies included such activities as photography, music, and internet research.
