Chopper had a brief career working in Milwaukee as a machinist before meeting Janet Corn. He was united in marriage to Janet on July 2, 1983 at St. Michaels Catholic Church in Keshena. He continued to work at the mill until the loss of his leg. This however didn't stop him from working and worked as a bingo caller, a barber, and a seasoned gambler. Chopper was very musically inclined and was able to play the fiddle and the guitar. He loved hunting and did so every year until his early 60's. He could light up a room with his jokes and could get a rise out of anyone. Making people laugh at the most inopportune times was his specialty. He adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His family was his world and he will be deeply missed.
