He was preceded in death by two children, Graig and Beth; two sisters, Ida Taets and Minnie Heitland, and four brothers, Frank, Henry, George, and Ben.
He is survived by his wife, Marie, of St. Ansgar; two daughters, Cindy (Joe) Sams of Minneapolis, and Sheryl (Jim) Krebsbach of Stacyville; four sons, Denis (Martha), Lee (Theresa), Paul (Donna), all of St. Ansgar and Dale of Amery, Wis.
