In 1938, the group moved from being under production with Hal Roach over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer when the series was sold.  His character was later replaced by Robert Blake when he became to thin to play the role of, "Porky".
 
After retiring from the industry he pursued a career as a school teacher in Colorado and later relocated to Minnesota so he could work and live closer to his only son.  In the early 1980's he did return to acting briefly to appear at a number of, "Little Rascals" reunions and he also became involved in selling merchandise related to his character, "Porky".
 
He passed away on October 16th, 2005 in Minneapolis, Minnesota after suffering from lung and brain cancer at the age of seventy one.
