He received the National Defense Service Medal and Good Conduct medal. After retirement from the military, he worked in the Criminal Justice arena in Protective & Security Services. He loved to Fish with his soul mate, his wife, especially at El Gulfo in the quaint Mexican town of Sn Luis outside of Yuma, Arizona. He loved to read novels, especially westerns, shoot on the fire, range was a very proud family man, and had some great sense of humor. His biggest Love was Ermina, his soul mate, they were inseparable. They were fabulous swing dance partners in the days of the style called Jitterbug at parties or night club.
