He was born June 15, 1915, in Northfield, Minn., but was raised and educated in the Silverton area. He was a graduate of the University of Oregon, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. He married Ruth Anderson in 1941 and served in the U.S. Army's finance department during the war years.
