At 17, he joined the Navy and served as Quartermaster C/2 for just less than three years. He then began his career with Davison of Highways (Cal-Trans) as a surveyor and retired 50 years later as a resident engineer.

He is survived by his daughters, Shinwell Grutsch of Eugene, Ore., and Debra Walker of Chico; grandchildren Susan FRancis of Oregon, Tyson Lowe of Willows, Jordon Lowe of Murrieta, Graham Lowe of Chico, Emily Thomas of Chico, and Colby Hansen of Chico; and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Rosie, and a son, Jeffrey.
Services are scheduled for Thursday, July 20, 2017 at the Willows Cemetery, followed by fellowship at the Willows Elk Lodge. F.D. Sweet and Son is handling the arrangements.
