Jason: I remember traveling with Dad to Denver for a construction job. The truck broke down and was towed into a small town. We stayed in a motel for about 3 days waiting for it to be fixed. Of course Dad made friends with all the people that he met and the best out of our situation. My family says that I remind them of Dad when I meet people.
Rikki: He’s a great man. He told me he would be my Dad when my parents divorced. Jason and I were not even married yet. He was always willing to help anyone where ever he could. He helped my Mom finish her basement apartment in southern Utah and would not take any payment. He just wanted to be fed and a warm place to sleep. That was fun experience for my kids to see Grandpa in action, doing what he loved. His acts of service were a great example to me. Much love old man!
Beau: Anna and I were riding with Grandpa in the Cadillac and we told him we wanted to stand thru the sunroof. Always safety first with Grandpa! He pulled into a church parking lot and drove around while we were hanging out of the sunroof. Also, Grandpa baptized and confirmed me.
Anna: One of my memories with Grandpa was when we lived with him. We would throw little rocks at each other . When we moved and my family would visit Utah, Grandpa would ask if I got hit by any of the rocks that he threw. Funny thing is, I would actually feel little things like rocks hitting me and it would make me think of Grandpa.
Sadee: Riding in Grandpa’s car and wearing his cooool sunglasses. When we were living at his house, Grandpa thought it was so funny to play practical jokes on us. One time he locked me outside in the snow and made funny faces at me through the glass door. But then there was also the awesome chocolate shakes and going to Arctic Circle for ice cream cones.
Makailee: I remember Grandpa freaking me out with his ‘magic’ teeth. He would take them out and it would make me laugh. Also, his chocolate shakes.
