He was a lifelong resident of Nephi and was educated in the Nephi schools where he participated in sports. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He worked for many years at the Wasatch Service Station when he was first married. He had a great love for the land and farmed most of his life. He enjoyed working with animals, especially his cows and horses. He loved sports and was good at them. He played baseball on the Nephi teams and was a member of a bowling league in Nephi and Spanish Fork for many years. In his later years he enjoyed watching sports on TV. He loved hunting and fishing with his sons and listening to their hunting stories when he was unable to go with them. He had a great sense of humor and really enjoyed kidding and teasing those who cared for him at Heritage Hills. We will all miss him very much but are comforted to know he is with mom and his family again. His greatest love was for his wife and children.
