After retirement, he was the general manager of the national organization, International Storekeeper Management Association until his retirement as director in 1996.
With a long history of membership in Pensacola Historical Society, the Pensacola Archeology Society, and other historical programs in Pensacola, he will be missed by all involved in those organizations. In addition, he was a long time member of the Knights of Columbus who will provide the honor guard for the funeral. He was also a volunteer at Sacred Heart Hospital.
