He was born , lived, loved, and died in Lyman, Wyoming. He received his draft notice the day he married Gloria Shurtleff on November 18, 1950. He served our country from 1950-1952 fighting in three of the four major battles of the Korean Conflict.

His family became an eternal family on February 20, exactly 46 years to the day he died. He served as Executive Secretary, Ward Clerk, High Priest Group Leader and worked in the Ogden Temple.
