They married and lived briefly in West New York NJ.  In 1972, they moved their family to Bergenfield where he was surrounded by many wonderful neighbors who became close friends. He had a long career as a salesman for Proctor & Gamble and was awarded numerous Outstanding Salesman and Safe Driving awards.
