They were blessed with two amazing children, Carl and Melanie and four perfect grandsons, Cole, John, Caden and Jake. He loved being with his wife, they were never more than two steps behind one another. He enjoyed going up to the cabin in Longville with family and friends and loved to fish.

He worked at Fanny Farmer and Lakeland Bakery during High School, he serviced 4 years in the Army and overseas in Korea. When he returned home, he worked at MnDOT; repairing traffic signals, then at NSP for many years and finished his career at Zirc; maintaining the building, machines and various other tasks. He made lifelong friends while doing the jobs he loved.
His favorite thing to do was helping fix everything his grandsons broke; and that was a lot!
