On January 21, he was drafted into the Army serving in the Asiatic Pacific Theater, also in the European African Theater. He was honorably discharged on October 11, 1945. Dad was a very proud World War II veteran.
He married Mary Elva Bertoch September 27, 1946. They started their life together in Tooele, Utah when Dad was hired at Tooele Army Depot where he later retired. Dad and Mom where married 64 years.
Dad was very involved with family and community activities, a Scout Master while his boys were active, a member of the American Legion Post 38 from Magna, Utah, Adjutant in 1971.
He spent many years traveling with the National Campers and Hikers Assoc., and also found time to learn to Square Dance. No matter where Dad lived he always had a large vegetable garden, he liked getting his hands dirty. Dad had a full and active life he was loved and respected by all. He will be missed.
