He is survived by five step-sons, Gerald Hobson and wife, Debbie of Shell Rock, Dennis Hobson and wife, Kathy of Greene, Floyd Hobson and wife, Sheryl of Waverly, Dean Hobson and wife, Vernita of Clarksville and Gale Hobson; one step-daughter, Janine Wikerts and husband, Russ of Eldora; fifteen grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; one sister, Lucille Francis and husband, Keith of Osage; and one brother, Charles Lee Eilers of Jacksonville, Texas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Florence; and a sister, Marie Love.

Memorial services were held at 11:30 a.m., on Saturday, May 6, 2000, at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church with Rev. Frederick J. Wood officiating. Those planning an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Interment was in the Hampton Cemetery in Hampton with full veterans rites by the Hampton Memorial Association. The Major-Erickson Funeral Home in Mason City was in charge of the arrangements.
