He graduated from medical school in 1954 and practiced orthopedic surgery at a Presbyterian Missionary Hospital in Miraj, India where he met his wife, Sylvia F. (nee Cecil).

I was so privileged to have such a wonderful Uncle. He was a gem of a man with a heart of gold. Compassionate, kind, loving, and generous, he holds a special place place in my heart. A brilliant doctor, his memory and legacy will live on in the hearts and lives of those he touched and transformed. For all his abilities and accomplishments, he was at heart, a humble, simple, loving family man, who never forgot his roots. Rest in eternal peace, dear Uncle, we will never forget you..
