He entered a School Social Work program in Wheaton, Illinois shortly thereafter. He supervised graduates of the Jane Addams School of Social Work until 1969 when he was hired as the Coordinator of Extraordinary Services for the Cooperative Association for Special Education, in Lombard, Illinois. He retired in 1985.

He was an avid bridge player, wood carver, puzzle solver, and reader. He enjoyed daily and vigorous walks. And many fond hours with family and friends, and his loving dog Smitty, and cat, Cleo.
