Born at Lockport, New York, March 22, 1914, he was a long-time Member of the House of Representatives from New York State.
He was not a candidate for re-election in the 89th Congress. He had left the Congress in order to become a candidate for Vice President of the United States on the Republican ticket headed by Senator Barry M. Goldwater in 1964. That team was soundly defeated by President Lyndon B. Johnson and his Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Hubert H. Humphrey.
He retired to Lockport and to the practice of law, until his death in Buffalo, New York, on June 24, 1983. He was buried in Section 5 of Arlington National Cemetery.
