Later he was pastor of First Methodist Church in Aberdeen, S.D., from 1966 to 1969, and then was Dakota Areas Program Director for the United Methodist Church from 1969 through 1971. In 1971, he returned to Bismarck as Superintendent of the Western District. He continued until his retirement in 1975, having served the United Methodist Church for 45 years. He derived the greatest satisfaction from the years as local pastor in Bismarck and elsewhere. After retirement, he served for a few years as a part time visitation pastor at McCabe Church, where he continued to be active until his death.

In appreciation of his ministry, McCabe Church designated him "Pastor Emeritus" in 1998. At the age of 91, he was invited to preach at McCabe Church on the 40th anniversary of the opening of the present church building. He was a member of Kiwanis Golden K and a 33rd degree Mason.
