He attended Holy Rosary School and proudly graduated from Assumption High School in 1960. During his time at Assumption, he earned the nickname "Bulldog" for his dominance and tenacity on the football field. In October, 1960 he met Sharon Haught who would be the love of his life. They married on July 29, 1961. Four loving daughters would complete their family.
