Upon his discharge, he married the love of his life, Carmela Tirri, to whom he was married for 60 years until her untimely death in 2006. He and his brother Thomas ran the family construction business in northern New Jersey, until the families moved to Hollywood, Florida, in 1956, where they began a building and contracting firm in the Driftwood Acres subdivision. He moved to Sunrise, Florida, in 1969, where he was an officer in the Sunrise Police Reserve Unit for over ten years. He retired from the contracting business in 1979, and lived for a period of time in Stuart, Florida. He was a founding member and treasurer of the Sunrise Italian American Civic Association, dues paying member of the American Legion, and the oldest living member of the Italian American Club of Hollywood.
