He proudly served four years in the U.S. Navy during World War II, with deployments across the North and South Pacific as well as the North and South Atlantic. A dedicated patriot, he was a lifelong member of both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. During his service, he was stationed aboard the USS William D. Porter, a destroyer that was ultimately sunk by a kamikaze attack, remarkably, with no casualties reported.
