He married Nancy Ruflin on August 4, 1968. They had 9 children, and later divorced. He worked as a salesman at Butterfield Ford for many years, and thought highly of the Butterfield family. He was a social butterfly and loved to talk to everyone he met. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, and looked forward to hunting trips in the Bookcliffs with his family. He enjoyed visiting with his neighbors, and the family would like to express appreciation for the care and time they took to make sure he was safe.
