During the Battle of Ramelle, he was positioned on a hole with Rice, Miller, Reiben, Ryan and Lyle and he helped to disable a German Tiger Tank with Rice by blowing off the treads with Sticky Bombs. When the Germans responded with a 20mm, he was one of the men falling back to the Alamo. On his way, he was killed by the opposing German forces.
