He then decided to become a licensed Realtor. A career he loved and excelled at for thirty years until his health would no longer allow him to work. He spent the last years of his life with many health problems which kept him in bed most of the time. He kept himself busy studying the bible, watching his favorite shows and listening to his favorite music.

He was preceded in death by many of his brothers and his older sister Helene. He also lost his youngest daughter, Frances, in 2023 at 45 years old.

He was a brave man, accepting his many health setbacks with courage and peace. Eternal rest.
