Toad joined the Navy after high school and served at duty stations in Texas, Japan, Alaska, Italy, Illinois, California, and Hawaii. He also served on the USS Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam War. Many of his Navy friends referred to him as "Sput" during his time of service. On February 16, 1962, Toad married Carol Johnson in Gettysburg, SD. They were blessed with two children, Les and Tom. Toad was very proud of being part of four consecutive generations that served in the Navy, including Toad, his father, Leslie, his son, Les, and his grandson, Michael. After Toad's 24 years of service in the Navy, he owned and operated Toad's Tavern, now known as the Turtle Creek Saloon. He spent the following 20 years as a mail route carrier for the Orient Postal Service. In his free time, Toad enjoyed golfing, playing pool, fishing, and hunting. He spent time playing softball on a slow pitch league and was also part of a championship trap shooting team when he lived in Italy. Toad was a member of both the VFW and the American Legion.
