Our Dad was engaged in farming and cattle feeding for many of his early years.

He finished out his work career selling baler twine for Pretty Good Twine Company until his death. Our Dad loved his family and had a deep love for Mom and us, and it showed in his instructions to us as we grew up. He also enjoyed people in general and deeply enjoyed chatting and helping local farmers with their problems. When he was young, he was a fast-pitch softball pitcher for the Windsor Softball Team, when fast-pitch softball was popular in Windsor. He enjoyed every aspect of the activity and was one of the top softball pitchers in the area. When there was time, he loved to travel, read books on westerns and stream fishing in the Poudre and other Colorado mountain streams. He also loved polka music and played the accordion and the dulcimer in his early years. When he was farming, he was a member of the Colorado Cattleman Association.
