      He began teaching at the age of 49 at Davis High School in Yakima, and earned his teaching credentials through Central Washington University, and earned a master's degree at Gonzaga University. He worked with the Spokane Juvenile System and the Educational Service District in Wenatchee. He was a teacher and counselor up until his retirement four years ago.

      He was a three-time champion at the La Grande Country Club, and enjoyed golf almost as much as hunting and fishing. He was known for his sense of humor. La Grande was always home.
