He and Helen are retired and live in a condo in Florida. He was the president of the tenant's board for many years, until Jerry bought him a Cadillac, arousing suspicion among his neighbors that he was stealing from the board coffers. He was impeached and, when tie-breaking voter turned against him upon remembering that Jerry had stolen a loaf Marble Rye bread from her (in a previous episode), resigned.
