He retired after 20 years as an educator in Oregon, at OSU and PSU. He sold and serviced computers for many years and served as a Knights of Columbus insurance agent.

He is survived by his wife, Roberta, daughters Jennifer (Tad) Patton and JoEllen, grandson Philip, and siblings Bernadette, Gerald, Ralph, Kaymarie, Therese, Lynell, and Lawrence. He was predeceased by his sister Sherylann.

Many happy memories through the years. As a kid, I still remember your '39 Plymouth convertible with a rumble seat. I remember coming home on leave when you lived in Corvallis, and put Ralph's truck, which I borrowed, through your recently adjusted garage door. I hope those beer stein glasses I got from the gas station premiums soothed the pain. I followed you through Bellarmine, but missed the opportunity to attend OSU when my last year in the Navy was cut short, and used Ralph's address for mustering out. Don't know what you thought about me attending the Pac 12 competitor at the UW. Sorry, I did not get the chance to take you for a ride in my MGB.

Fond Memories of Carroll though the years.....He was the official photographer when Mer and I got married! Always enjoyed our chats and his genuine interest in "catching up" with the family.
