He loved the outdoors and adventures. He enjoyed a great career as a firefighter for the Salt Lake County Fire Department, retiring as a captain after 26 years. In addition to being a firefighter, he also pursued other careers. He loved riding his Goldwing motorcycle and went on many road trips. He loved camping, golfing, and building and flying radio-controlled airplanes. After he retired, he spent many summers serving at the Calgary Stampede Rodeo making pancakes. Most mornings, you could find him doing the Jumble in the Salt Lake Tribune. He loved music, especially country. Willie Nelson and the Man in Black (Johnny Cash) were a couple of his favorites. Often you would hear him whistling or singing a tune. He loved reciting the poem, “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert W. Service.
