Dad was never one to hold still, he worked for Geneva Steel and Triple E insulation, He started and ran Tour Ice of Central Utah in 1972, he served in the National Guard from 1955 until he retired in 2001, he was sent overseas during Desert Storm, he also spent time in Panama and Alaska, along with numerous other places while serving with the Guard. Dad was a big BYU fan and would travel to football and basketball games whenever he could. He was also a huge Jazz fan & attended games whenever he could. He liked to fish and hunt and spend time outdoors. He loved to get his family together whether to eat & talk or to play ball. He stood behind his kids & grandkids in many ways either to help them learn to help themselves or to give advice when they were struggling to find answers on their own. He could be as sweet as the maple nut ice cream he loved or as hard as the ice he produced. He was the sweetest, smartest, kind hearted, meanest, most angry, short tempered man we've ever known, and we are going to miss him.
