He and Peggy Stone were married in 1970 by Bishop David Collins in the office at Clinton Street Greater Bethlehem Temple in Detroit. From 1974-2002, he lived in Pontiac. He married Nancy Cantine in 1995 in Holly. He later lived in Waterford, and finally moved back to the Holly area. He is well-known for his mellow baritone voice, and sang with the Holly High School Choir, Wayne State University Men's Glee Club, the Ted Thomas Ensemble, Thurlow Spurr's Michigan Concert Choir, Voice for Christ Music Ministries, and many other church and local community choirs. He worked for the Oakland County Road Commission from 1971 to 2000, first in the forestry division, then as Human Relations Coordinator, and then as Personnel Specialist. He attended Oakland University, Rochester, in the 1990s, majoring in Human Resources. He was active in Scouting with his children, and was Cubmaster for Pack 66, Clinton Valley Boy Scout Council. He also assisted Peggy with her Girl Scout Troops. Over the years, he participated in many sports and activities, including track, softball, canoeing, volleyball, horseshoes, ping-pong and bowling. He was baptized in Jesus' name at an early age. Until 1983, he attended the churches that his parents pastored in Holly, particularly Bethlehem Temple Church #4, later renamed Holly Apostolic Church.

His final church affiliation was with the Carpenter’s House Church in Holly, pastored by his son-in-law and daughter, Bradley and Andrea Teague. His life was centered around the Scriptures. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2: 38-39).
