He married Dorothy Neel Gleason in 1934 and to this union were born six children: Michael, David, Alan, George, Margaret and Gayle.

He taught in rural schools, was employed by a lumber yard, served on the Gilmore City town council, owned and operated a movie theater and was engaged in farming prior to his retirement in 1973.
