As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served willingly in whatever task he was called to do. He was a quiet, reserved man, loved and respected by all who knew him for his kind manner and his example of true, enduring patience.
As a young man, he worked for his father in the stock raising business, and had a great talent for working with horses and other animals in and around the beautiful mountains and desert country of southern Utah, which he loved. He was also a good baseball player, a talented musician, and an efficient truck driver.

He and Grace moved to Provo in 1940, and after helping build the Geneva Steel Plant, he continued working there until his retirement in 1973. He was a capable and dependable worker, greatly admired by his fellow workers for his strength and exceptional abilities. He always enjoyed being with his family, whether visiting at home, playing with the grandchildren, or camping, hunting and horseback riding in the outdoors. He was proud of his heritage, and nothing brought him more joy than to tell his wonderful stories of the days gone by. For this and many other reasons, and especially for the patient, loving example which he showed to us all, he will be greatly missed.
