He grew up in the Dell Rapids, South Dakota area until he was 11 years of age when his family moved to the Dow City area. He attended country school near Dow City. The family then moved south of Dunlap and he attended and graduated from Dunlap High School in 1942. On November 10, 1944, he married Helen Brewster at the Methodist Parsonage in Denison, Iowa.
