He was born and raised in South Dakota. He was a God faithful, loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was the hardest working man, who worked up to the day the Good Lord took you home. You loved your wife, walks on the beach, cutting grass, spending time with kids and grandkids. You are a great example of what a good person needs to be. You took care of everyone with all you could. We love you and miss you.
