Dad grew up in Salt Lake City and started working at a very young age at Western Airlines as a dishwasher. After various jobs he retired with SLC Corp Sanitation Dept. as well as SLC Water Dept. He married the love of his life on September 16, 1950. He passed just shy of them celebrating their 68th wedding anniversary. Dad always bragged about having five children by the time Mom was 21. Dad loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and camping with family and friends. Dad, take Dan’s hand and fly high with the angels. We love you.
