After serving in the Army, graduating from L.A. State, and careers at the Standard Register Company and IBM, he and his wife and son moved to Las Vegas, where he worked as a casino dealer from 1967 to 1997; he claimed there was a conspiracy to implode every place he had worked. He loved sports, especially the pain of rooting for the Dodgers and the Rams; opera, country, and Cajun music; movies of almost every imaginable kind; battling Sudoku puzzles; and reading fiction. He also would warn you to check the receipt when you shop so that you get exactly what you're paying for.
