the tractors and he also maintained farm machinery. In 1955 he enlisted into the US Navy, and he sailed all around the world. One day in 1956, in Pensacola FL, he met Hilda and began his new life. They moved to Denver, CO where he was employed by the Gates Rubber Co. In the early seventy's he started Sun Recreational Products in Englewood CO. This was a custom camper, motorhome and custom boat manufacturing business. He was hands-on and created a crew of talented people along the way. He loved cars, planes, boats and trains. Most of these he incorporated into his own life. He loved to fly, he had his private pilot’s license and owned his own plane. He loved to go camping, boating and water-skiing. Some of the best times were spent in Sterling CO. He loved to travel with Hilda, they toured Europe, Hawaii and Australia. Plus, many trips to see friends. He had an astounding love for music.
