In 2001, the married couple moved back to Redwood Falls to be closer to family.  He loved gatherings at his home with family and friends.  You could often find him outdoors sitting under the gazebo telling jokes and stories. He enjoyed going on camping trips and visiting many places. He loved playing the guitar and listening to music, especially Journey.  He will be remembered for his smile and big hugs.
