He worked for the Union Pacific Railroad as a Telegraph Operator and in the following underground mines: Butte, Montana; Randolph, Utah, Aragonite, Utah; and also N.L. Industries. His real love was his wife, his family and the the ranch. He loved his nine grandchildren and was overjoyed with 27 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way. Had a great sense of humor.
