He was a great provider for his family and worked for Croft Electric for 10 years prior to being employed at Cuivre River Electric for more than 25 years. Aside from working full time, he also farmed, enjoyed raising cattle and was always willing to lend a hand. He was constantly busy. Some of his hobbies included hunting, fishing, baling hay, barbecuing, and working on projects around the farm.
