lifelong resident of Loango, he worked as a Production Foreman at Conoco Oil Company and served in the U.S. Army. Twenty-five years ago, he founded the Grain Bin Hunting Club of Luverne, and was a passionate hunter, fisherman and Harley Davidson rider. He was very involved in the Red Level VFW Post 4388, loved gardening and was a private pilot. He will be greatly missed.
