He was raised in Leon until he married his high school sweetheart and moved to Des Moines. They were married for 61 years last July. They had two children, Ricky and Candice – Rick was his favorite. He retired from Sears after 39 years of employment. He was such a loyal employee, he walked to work in a blizzard and everyone wanted him to work on their cars. He loved car racing and playing chess with his grandson, sneaking into movies with his granddaughter, betting on sports with his wife, but what he loved most of all was taking vacations with his family. He always had to be on the road before the sun came up.
