In 1948, at age 18, he joined the Army. After basic training at Fort Ord, California he was transferred to White Sands proving grounds near Los Cruzes, New Mexico. Here he learned the flying missile business.
After this tour of duty, he was released back into active reserves. In a month he was re-ordered again to active duty and served his remaining time with the Atomic Energy Commission at Eniwetok, Marshal Island. A year later he received his honorable discharge. He married Beverly Close and had four children. This marriage ended in divorce in 1969. In 1972 Myron married Ruth Marie Rodda. Marie brought one daughter into the marriage. Myron's greatest joy was when he adopted Donna.
Myron had many hobbies. Besides loving his work as a Master Mason, and builder, he was an avid outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing (especially with fly rods), tying flies, and building bows and arrows. He had taken many deer with his homemade bows. One buck deer is still in the record book. When he wasn't hunting, he was doing oil paintings and wood carving. Myron really enjoyed being a Boy Scout Master for about 8 years. He joined the Bountiful City Jeep Posse (an all-volunteer world's first jeep posse search and rescue club) in 1963 and was an active member until his death.
Myron contracted and built many fine homes, as well as worked as a supervisor on School houses and other large commercial buildings. In his later years, he worked 20 plus years as a civil engineer at Hill Air Force base retiring in 1992.
Interment at Centerville Cemetery.
