He retired as a shift supervisor from Standard Oil Refinery in 1983 after working there for 33 years. He was an enthusiastic vegetable gardener and he loved fishing, especially with his family. He enjoyed bowling, golf, and he coached youth baseball. He was fond of flea markets and collected old farm implements and cast iron cookware. He was always on the lookout for a good deal. He was a member in good standing of Masonic Lodge 1111 for over 55 years. He is survived by Mary, his wife of 63 years; sons: Ernie (wife Joyce) and Mark (wife Stephanie); daughter-in-law, Sue; grandchildren: Dustin, Will, Betsy, Katie, Lauren, Ashley and Jolene.
