Together they went on to raise seven children, unfortunately, three of the children were taken early in their young lives. In 1962, he moved from Tulare, CA to Seattle, WA with his wife and 2 daughters. While residing in Seattle, they were blessed with 2 more daughters.
He held many jobs from backyard mechanic; to waste disposal service driver, and a tow truck driver, as well as, acquiring long-term employment with Boeing. During his 30 years at Boeing, he filled his downtime by teaching his daughters how to fish and being active in the Army Reserve at Fort Lewis and Fort Lawton.
He is survived by his beautiful, loving daughters Connie, Donna, Sharron, and Teresa; 11 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be sent to the “Wounded Warrior Program” or a tree be planted in his honor.
“At ease soldier, you're home. The war is over.”
