He served a mission to the North Central States Mission, serving in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. Was active in the church throughout his life, serving as bishop's counselor; Tri-region Singles Representative, CO; and as a temple worker. He was recently set apart as a Family History Missionary, which he was looking forward to very much.
