In 1933 he married the librarian Helene Johani , who later served as a director of the National Library of Estonia during the Soviet occupation (then named the State Library of the Estonian SSR).
He served in the defense of Tartu during WWII. He was taken prisoner by the Germans, and executed in the Tartu prison.
