After his time in the Marine Corps, he became a member of the 544th Army Reserve unit in Wabasha from 1971 to 1983. He was employed at Honeywell, Gould, and spent many years at Big Joe Flour before retiring. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, taking part in the Flood Run, fishing and socializing with any and everyone.
He is survived by his three children Lynn, Darren (Cindy), Wabasha and Mike (Gwen) Nelson, four grandchildren, Alexis, Dylan, Tim and Jessica and great granddaughter Monroe. He is also survived by three nieces, Jill (Todd) Anderson, Jayne (Pete) Gjervold, and Jannelle (Jason) Goodrie.
He was proceeded in death by his wife Janet, parents, sister-in-law and brother-in-law; Karen and Vern Ferguson, a great granddaughter Harper Winslow; and his 10 siblings.
