He worked as a painter during the day when he could find work, and as a night watchman at the Remmington Arms ammunition plant in Salt Lake City. He painted the Elevator doors in the L.D.S. office building in 1960. He contracted lymph gland cancer and was one of the first Kemotheropy patients in the United States.
