His children wrote the following:  Our Dad was a good man.  A man from a different generation, loving, honest, and trustworthy.  He worked hard most of his life and was able to retire and be comfortable here in Utah.  A place he always loved so much.  He taught us a lot of things and Dad and Brad worked together for many years in the tractor business.  He liked to work on cars and motorcycles and tractors.  He taught us how to hunt and fish and ride motorcycles.

Brad and Cindy would like to say thank you Dad, we love you and miss you.  You will always be in our hearts.  From your wife (Punkin) you are my soul mate forever and a day I love you Sonny
