Formerly of Superior, he owned his own milk truck and route for many years before starting at Ideal Cement in 1970. He worked as a mill superviser until the plant closed in 1986. He relocated to Grand Island and worked for Hooker Brothers as a driver until his retirement in 2000.
He served in the Korean War.
He retired to be an active part of his grandchildren’s life and continued to fish and woodwork. He loved working in his shop.
After his late wife, Dixie, died, he relocated to McCook to be near his daughter. He always wanted to have a little farm so, in 2017, at the age of 84, he bought a small farm south of McCook where he spent countless hours enjoying his shop and the land and being near his son-in-law, who farms. He mentioned many times his love for the McCook area and his little ranch.
He was a very devoted husband, father, brother, son-in-law, uncle and friend to many.
