He worked in the Hanford area, supporting transportation and logistical operations as a licensed vehicle operator. He is remembered for his skill, uncompromising work ethic and excellent sense of humor.

In retirement, he devoted himself completely to supporting family members. Above all, he cared deeply for his grandchildren who regularly accompanied him and his wife Mari at home and about town. He was the essence of being a father and grandfather by supporting, providing for, and loving his children and grandchildren.

He will be forever remembered for his unconditional love of family, his funny stories, contagious laughter, and unyielding support of the Raiders football team. Rest well, father. We shall hold you tightly in our hearts and look to the day when we see you and mom together again.
