He worked in the fishery industry and  at some summers spent in Alaska but worked for twenty plus years at commercial cold storage. Lived in Conway, and eventually bought a place out in  big lake Washington  . We had third of July parties out there that I know his friend would have some sorta story to contribute to this page. My dad Loved to drink his rainer beer and bullshit .  Play darts ,hunt, fish , bowl. Camp and I could go on and on. 
He had been suffering from COPD For many years as well as heart conditions. 
On march 04,2018
He went down to the boat to check on it and fell and broke his hip. Luckily not going into water.. sadly my dad never got to fish after that.  He pushed his luck and ended up needing two more hip surgerys and another replacement. Back to rehabilitation he went. He didn't like that. He even on a occasion tried to get me to escape him . That's another story..
He went too soon . And will be in my heart forever..

My father passed away December 04 2019 at his residence in laconner with his family surrounding him. He suffered from long term COPD.
