He graduated from Ellensburg in 1956. He moved to the Seattle area, settling in Bonney Lake; working at Boeing's, retiring in 1993. Next to his family his love was racing stock cars # 37, 33 & 05. He frequently participated at the Spanaway race track. Services will be held in Ellensburg, Spring 2009.

I was glad to be able to know Papa and that he was able to spend time with my kids. He had a soft spirit. He teared up when he hugged you or his great-grand-child drew him a picture. He loved Nascar and dinking around in his garage. He produced some great stuff for everyone outta that garage. He will be missed.
