Born on January 25, 1926, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, he grew up in Omaha,
Nebraska, and earned his college degree at Iowa State University.

years in computer engineering at Baker Oil Tools in Los Angeles and
CalComp in Anaheim.
He was a member of the Kamping Kangaroos and King of the Road camping
clubs. He enjoyed fishing and gardening, but in his later years, he
mostly looked forward to Wednesday nights, playing dominoes with some of
his close friends.

(Trini), Barbara Lichten (Steve), Marcia Ball (Ken), and Brian Gibbs,
ten grandchildren, and three great grandchildren.
Services were held at Miller-Jones Mortuary in Perris. He will be laid to
