While on a blind date, he met his soon to be wife, Wanda McGuire. They married December 5, 1949 at Maplewood Methodist Church. Together they enjoyed fellowship with friends and family, traveling and playing dominos.

All his life he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and spending time with his grandkids and great-grandchildren. He and his brother Norman loved to cook.
