In order to help the family out financially he did not graduate high school but went to work at K. T. Highway Garage in Holland as an automotive mechanic. He also delivered the Temple Telegram to earn extra money. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served from 1951 at the rank of Corporal until he was honorably discharged in 1953.
