He spent thirty plus years as a teacher with the Akron Public School system and worked for the City of Akron water department. He enjoyed golfing, bowling and fishing, especially taking those trips to Canada to fish with his brother's. 

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, William. He is survived by his sister, Mary Grenus; brother, Robert (Dorothy) Grenus; nieces and nephews, Karen, Sheila, Jim, Tim, Pam, Dan and sister-in-law, Sally.
