We will miss this man, a veteran of the depression, the CCC's and World War II.

the best girl in Seattle, Norene and together they produced three children who owe every good thing in life to their dads devotion to them and their mother.

There are few perfect words to express our pride in being the wife and children of a man so caring, giving and hard working.
He had a passion and knowledge of those "fine old automobiles", as he called them that few could match.
A talented artist, he expressed that passion through his fabulous drawings of antique cars, which will be enjoyed and treasured by many for years to come.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Norene, children Lorraine, Jim and Yvonne, three grandchildren, Mike, Dan and Janelle and three great-grandchildren.
