On April 29, 1972 he was united in marriage to Susan Jane Tangen at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Brooks. Together they had 3 children Lynn, Corey and Tammy.
He worked numerous jobs and was a “Jack of all trades”. He drove bulk truck for Cenex, drove Arctic Cat race support trailer for both Arctic Cat and Black Magic racing. His passion was taking care of the land which he loved so much, as he farmed his entire life.
He enjoyed auction sales, attending car and snowmobile races, restoring antique tractors and most of all he loved the time spent with his kids and grandkids. He had a gift of gabbing who never met a stranger and was known where ever he went. He had a zest for life and was always on the go.
