Beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle.
He served his country in Germany, worked for Firestone, Bethlehem Steel and had his own neon sign company in Provo. He is remembered for his wood creations in his shop, his glassblown swans and other beautiful items; collecting nightcrawlers just up the street in the old house, fishing trips to Strawberry reservoir, sleigh rides, scratchy whiskers and great big bear hugs.
He is greatly missed and loved.
