He eventually left home and ended up in San Diego, California until the outbreak of WWII. He enlisted in the Army Air Corp. and and was sent first to North Africa the Italy.

After the war he returned to NYC where he met his future wife, Ruth. He became a piano tuner but always enjoyed photography as a hobby.
