Horticultural genius who developed America's most popular sween corn hybrids. Jubilee and Silver Queen for Rogers Bros. Seed Company.
Avid golfer...racked up 3 holes-in-one! What A Guy!! However...without question, absolutely the World's Worst Putter!
Survived by three sons, Larry, Tom and Jack; daughter, Dixie; stepsons, Scott and Roger Nelson; four grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and brother, Arley.
At his request, no memorial service, no flowers etc. but a prayer on his behalf would be nice...and maybe a check to his and Rev's favorite charity: Sunshine Acres Children's Home, 3405 N. Higley Road, Mesa, Arizona 85215 (Super outfit that takes in orphans and disadvantaged kids).
