He worked at Kaiser and multiple oil companies and after retirement kept himself busy with his small engine repair hobby. He loved spending time with his family, camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, snowmobiling, and traveling. He was preceded in death by his wife, his parents, and his brother, James Morasch. He is survived by his three children; his sister Carol Grant; his grandchildren Michael (Melissa) Tate, Steven (Heather) Tate, Katharine Tate, Amber Archambeault, Joseph Sontgerath, and Alan Sontgerath; and his great-grandchildren Finnley, Avery, Eugene, and Rosemary Tate.
