Father of three sons and one daughter, Steve and Craig, Elko, Nev.; Jeff (Kathy), Hibbing, Minn.; and Linda Kramer of Sandy; His wife, children and eight grandchildren all survive him.
Dad was a very spry senior. He had three passions: eating all kinds of rich foods, watching all kinds of sports, and talking about the "Good Old Times." He was so great at "remembering the memories"...we will all miss his quick wit and his little notes on cards.
Private family services will be held, followed by cremation and interment at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
