Dad was a very hard worker with a strong work ethic who enjoyed building quality homes and having the fruits of his labor evident for many generations to come. As an employer, he took pride in teaching young men the construction trade and cared deeply about his employees. When he had spare time, he enjoyed gardening and took pride in growing vegetables and maintaining a well kept yard. Dad married Rosa Magdalene Walton on April 19, 1948. Their marriage was later solemnized in the LDS Logan Temple. They were blessed with a son Billy and a daughter Nancy. Initially, the family lived in the Rose Park area of Salt Lake City but in 1961 moved to “Happy Homes” in Kaysville. Dad and Mom made many dear friends and remained in their home until 2005 when Dad was no longer physically able take care of the home.
