A graduate of Celina High School, he served his country in the National Guard. He was a Lifetime member of the St. John Lutheran Church, Celina. He sang in the Church Choir for many years and was a member of the Church dart ball team. He came from a family that loved music. His father and uncles sang as a quartet and his mother played the piano. This family tradition was carried on in his life, as he was a member of the Sound Waves Barbershop Chorus. He had a deep resounding bass voice and enjoyed chorus, the weekly practices, sing-outs and the fellowship with the other members. He will be remembered as a loving father and grandfather, devoted husband, and a great friend by many.
