He served during the Vietnam War and would regale his family with stories of his time in the service. He was a Disbursing Clerk and retired in 1984 as a Petty Officer First Class. He served in a P-3 Orion Squadron in Iceland, he also served on the following ships: USS Mars AFS-1, USS Fresno LST 1182, and the USS Carl Vinson CVN 70. (The later ship he was a plank owner).
