He was married to Leah Groff who predeceased him nearly five years ago. He united with the Mennonite Church in early life in which faith he died.

He leaves 3 sons, 3 daughters, 1 adopted daughter, 26 grandchildren, 4 brothers, and 5 sisters, besides a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro.
