His employment included being a pressman at Wagners Printers; Pressroom Manager at Cedar Graphics; and Pressroom Manager at TPI in Des Moines.
Through the years, he enjoyed his family, geode digging trips, music, creativity through sand-blasting projects, soaking up the sun in the pool, bird watching, and his pets.
