His military career took him many places, his favorite being Germany and Alaska. He retired in 1969 and took employment with Dr. Pepper Bottling Company in Dallas, TX, but moved to San Antonio on his birthday, November 13, 1978 where he lived until his passing. In 1982, he became a member of Cornerstone Church where he served as an Usher. One of his favorite pass times was Square Dancing, which is where he met such wonderful life long friends.
