Recruited into OSS in April 42. He was inserted in the Jura at Pont de Veux the night of 18/19 October 1943 and spent the rest of the war behind enemy lines. Settled in France after the war in Chatillon-sur-Chalarome . He died in 1993, and although he has a plot in the town cemetery, some accounts say that his ashes were spread in the field by the monument along with the ashes of his Buckmaster buddies Brit Colonel Richard Harry Heslop, French Captain Raymond Aubin and Canadian Lieutenant Marcel Veilleux. These four men maintained close relations throughout their lives after the war.
