He married Arlene E. Elbring on Aug. 21, 1950, in Webster Groves, Mo., and began his teaching career in music at Woodward that same year. He held superintendent of school positions in Meriden from 1955-57 and in Zearing from 1957-1962. In the summer of 1962 he and his family moved to Ames and Ike sold school textbooks in the eastern two-thirds of Iowa until 1969 when he became the Executive Director of MICA. His last career move was to real estate in 1974, and he worked with Friedrich Realty until his retirement in 2001.

He joined the Ames Noon Lions Club in 1970, served in many capacities including District Governor (1991-92) and received numerous awards for his leadership and service.
Ike received a kidney organ transplant in 1987 and was active in a local support group for persons on the waiting list, transplant recipients, and donor families.
Until the last few months, he, with his tenor sax, was very active in the Heartland Senior Band.
