Life's Work/Service/Interests: He taught Physical Education courses at Elko Community College. He went on to coach at Worchester Junior College in Boston and Lincoln Junior College in Illinois, before becoming the Dean of Students. He retired to Cody, Wyoming, where he worked, hunted and fished for 26 years until a major stroke changed his life. He moved to Southern Utah to be cared for by his son, but was able to live independently until the last few years. All of his life he loved art, music and always worked for excellence in whatever he did. His favorite was leading many ward choirs, which he was doing at the time of his passing. All of his children have enjoyed his love of music and a few are professional musicians. He lived a life varied, interesting and full. He was not married at the time of his death, but enjoyed his marriages to wonderful women. Last month, all of his children, many other descendants and relatives gathered to celebrate his 80th birthday; his preference in lieu of a funeral. He passed from this life peacefully, in his sleep, on November 23, 2013.
