At Immaculate Conception Church, he was a member of the building committee and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was a member of the cemetery committee at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Morganza. He also served on the boards of the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department, the Charlotte Hall Military Academy and the Cedar Lane Home for the Elderly, where he headed the board and served on the building committee. In 1932, he married Elizabeth V. Buckler, who died in 1976. He is survived by his wife of nearly nine years, the former Marie Banks Raley; two sons, F.
