He came to San Rafael in 1920, teaching for five years at the old Mount Tamalpais Military Academy. From 1925 to 1930, he taught mathematics and Latin at San Rafael High School, and also was a coach of football and baseball.
From 1930 until his retirement in the mid-1950s, he taught at the Tamalpais School for Boys.
Surviving are his wife, Margaret, a daughter, Mrs. Mary Alice Langhehn, and two grandchildren, all of San Rafael.
Burial will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery, San Rafael. Rosary will be recited at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Keaton’s Mortuary in San Rafael.
