He joined the staff of Rowan University (then Glassboro State College) in 1959 and liked it so much that he stayed for fifty-two years, becoming Rowan's longest serving professor. From 1983-2003 he served as the chair of the English Department.
His retirement became official on June 30, 2011, and exactly one year later, he passed away at home. He had a passion for Shakespeare that was unrivaled by any other, and had a greater dedication to his students, colleagues, and school than most will ever know.
