Since 1933 he was married to the librarian Helene Johani, who later served as a director of the National Library of Estonia during the Soviet occupation (then named 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.
