family moved to Utah. He worked at several jobs in the following years until
he came upon the Weber County School District as a delivery driver for 20

and hiking. Although the trips were too far and few in between. He was the
original Daniel Boone when it came to trails and on road trips, always taking
a path for miles just to see where it went, even if it didn't lead anywhere.
He loved classic cars, old time westerns, the old TV show like Ma and Pa
Kettle, fifties rock and roll and old time country and the Rams football team.
He was a quiet man and pretty much kept to himself, but had a very quick wit
when the occasion called for it. He made a very lasting impression with
everyone who knew him.. He was the best husband and father one could ask for.
