He married Glenda Barbara Ann Bowers on May 2, 1958. They were blessed with five children: Terry, Kevin, Lori, Kellye and Jeremy. As soon as they got married in 1958 he left for Army bootcamp. He was in bootcamp in Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri. He then was stationed in Ft. Ord California, Ft. Roberts, and Ft. Lewis Washington for more training. He then was transferred to Ft.

While in the Army he also enjoyed playing the guitar and entering singing contests while in the service. In 1968 he got out of the Army and moved back to Norfolk, Nebraska. When he returned to Norfolk he enjoyed playing the guitar and singing at the Shady Inn/Riverside in Norfolk. While there he was offered a job to sing in a band in Dallas, Texas but turned down the opportunity because by that time he had three children. After the Army he worked at Henningsen Foods.
