He was the middle child of a family of 5. The family farmed in the San Fernando Valley until moving north to Moorpark CA in the 50’s. In 1958 he was drafted into the Army. After a short time in boot camp he was discharged due to a heart murmur. At this time he returned to farming with his brothers and father. This is where he met his wife of almost 50 years, Sondra Jo.
