Born in Rochester in September 1932, he graduated from Brighton High School in 1950. He then attended RIT majoring in graphic design, earning two degrees.

He was always interested in books and reading and received his Masters in Library Science in 1972. Fortunately, he found a position with the Rochester Public Library and spent almost 20 years at the Winton Road Branch Library, retiring in 1993.

He lived with his partner in the Claude Bragdon Landmark House "Cronest" where he enjoyed gardening and his kingdom of "wild" animals including raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and deer that roamed the area. He also enjoyed traveling with his partner & friends. He traveled to the British Isles, all the countries of Europe, Russia, Greece, Egypt, China, Hawaii, Thailand, and South America. He enjoyed photography, and took 1000's of color slides & offered travelogues at branch libraries. He also enjoyed film and theater. 

"I lived life to the fullest and never lacked anything." he said.
