He made his career with the Utah Air National Guard for 32 years and retired as a Senior Master Sargent. After retiring from the Guard, he became a bus driver for the Davis School District for several years. It was a time in his life he cherished because he loved being with the kids. He served his community as a volunteer fireman for the Farmington Fire Dept. for 11 years. He loved and respected those he served with.

He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Giving a lifetime of service in many capacities. Always ready to help those in need. He also served a mission at the LDS Employment Center of Bountiful with his sweetheart.

We know Dad missed Mom terribly and are grateful they are now together forever. We love you Mom and Dad! Merry Christmas!
