He & Maxine farmed near Alden for 50 years and were members of Redeemer Lutheran Church. He was a member of the church council and was on the Foster township board for a number of years.  He enjoyed fishing, playing cards, dancing at the Golden Bubble and traveling south in the winters.  He went fishing at lakes all over southern Minnesota and enjoyed time spent at their cabin in Nevis, MN.  He could fix anything and was proud of his farm.
