He married the love of his life in 1969, and quickly established a career with Oconomowoc Utilities. He began as a lineman and retired as general foreman in 2001. He enjoyed his long retirement filled with many hobbies, and never really slowed down. After retirement, he was able to fully commit to the farm, Big Oak Herefords, and enjoyed all aspects of raising beef cattle. He was an avid gardener, always sharing his harvest with friends and family. He honed in on his woodworking skills and built many beautiful pieces of furniture. He also spent countless hours working on classic cars, tractors and skid loaders. He spent his final years soaking up the joys of being a grandfather.
