As an adult, he fell in love with the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, where he lived and worked as a waiter for many years. His favorite job was at the Market Cafe in the French Quarter. There, he enjoyed meeting people from all over the world; as well as many of the Quarter’s jazz musicians. He later moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, where he enjoyed seeing and learning the history of the ‘Old West ‘ and finally, 3 years ago, he returned to Terre Haute where he worked part time at Sodexo until his health deteriorated earlier this year.
