Soon after his career began, Biays would find himself honorably serving his country in the U.S. Navy during both WWII and the Korean War. Biays would meet his soul-mate, Lois Powers, while stationed at Pearl Harbor and they would be united in marriage shortly after, on 24, 1951. Their union was blessed with 58 loving years together and 7 beautiful children. Biays heart would be broken when Lois was sadly called home ahead of him on 3, 2010. his service in the Navy, Biays would successfully complete his Masters degree from Catholic University and begin his professional working career in the field of licensed social work with Catholic Charities in Baltimore and Bellingham. Biays moved his family to Dubuque in 1960 to continue his career with Catholic Charities and finally moved over to Medical Associates where he stayed until his retirement in 1989. He was a longtime and faithful member of St. Patricks Church and would joyfully instill his firmly held Christian values into his growing family. In his free time, Biays would find time to help found the Dubuque Genealogy Society and volunteer countless hours at the Carnegie Stout Library in Dubuque. Biays was always a proud husband, father and grandfather and family was clearly a priority in his life. Whether leading by example, or a simple word of advice; all loved by Biays would never have to doubt his devotion to them. His soul now rests safely within the arms of his Savior and he is once again reunited with his deeply adored wife, Lois. We will miss Biays dearly and yet find comfort in trusting that his wonderful memories will fill our hearts and minds for generations to come. Those left to cherish Biays memory include his children,
