Upon graduating he was commissioned a 2nd Lt. and served in both the U.S. Army Air Corps and the U.S. Air Force during World War II and the Korean War. He resigned his commission as Captain after 11 years of duty to run the family business.

He enjoyed many things in life, playing golf twice a week with buddies, building children’s furniture in his workshop, and traveling with his wife to many parts of the world.

He was a member of Hiriam T. Dewey F & A M Lodge of Egg Harbor City, N.J., the Moravian Church of Egg Harbor City, the Lake Wales Country Club, the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a member of Fellowship Dining of Lake Wales.
