The family moved from Flora, IL to Oswego in 1963.  He was a 1965 graduate of Oswego High School, where he had a great time participating in basketball and track during his high school years and later was active with the Oswego Men’s Softball League.  His passion was his game of golf spent playing at the Fox Bend Golf Course in various leagues.  He was a lifetime member of the 3rd Ward Club.
