He was preceded in death by his parents J Orville & Jewell and his siblings LeRoy, John, Paula, Irma and Betty.   Surviving siblings are Joy Snyder and Brenda (Don) Trokey.

He chose a path in education.  First at Dewey Elementary School, then  Southwest High School and finished his career at Affton High School.  His entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-owning & operating Castlewood Swim and Tennis Club, purchasing rental properties in South St. Louis and then buying a home in Dixon, MO where he met his beloved companion, Kim Bostic.   Over the years he owned cattle, horses, goats and rabbits.

A celebration of life will be planned at a later time.
