They lived in Anoka, Swanville, Circle Pines, 30 years in Isanti and finally retired in Swanville, Minnesota.

He had many different jobs. He worked 25 years at Process Displays and Printing in New Hope.

He also cross guarded for the children in Cambridge and even did this in his Santa suit.

13 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

He loved to hunt and fish, especially on Pillsbury Lake.
