On June 21, 1940, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, he married Mildred Geneva Quick, who preceded him in death February 6, 1995.

He was a lifetime member of the Laurel Mountain Post 410 VFW in Belington. He enjoyed woodworking, gardening and was of the Methodist faith.

In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by three brothers and three sisters; a son-in-law, Butch Farley; and a great-grandchild. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
