He worked at Goulds Pumps as a plant manager in Auburn, NY, before he and his family moved to Chester, VA, where he then owned his exterminator business for 27 years. He was also a proud coach for the basketball and football teams of C.C. Wells Elementary Recreational League. He enjoyed spending time in the Outer Banks, specifically Hatteras, where he took special interest in surf fishing and being able to drive on the beach.
