He retired after 21 ½ years and returned to Montana. While stationed at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, WA, he met his wife, Marie Fujimoto from Cut Bank, MT, whom he married in 1955.
He enjoyed the outdoors including hunting, fishing, horses and camping in the wilderness. He was well-known for his story telling. After retirement, he held various jobs including owning a feed store in Helena and owning a bar/restaurant in Seeley Lake, MT.
He is survived by his wife, Marie; daughters Robin and Roxeen (Wieder); son, Ron; grandchildren, Breanne, Nathan and Hunter; two great grandchildren, Brayden and Emma; and numerous nieces and nephews.

As an Air Force veteran, I treasure my many conversations with “The Chief.” His story about his bathtub Nash he took to Japan lways makes me chuckle when I think of it. He really had some great stories about his time in the Air Force and offered me a glimpse into how things went before I served. Marie and family, I am so sorry he is no longer with us. He was quite the character and was never too busy to talk with me. He inspired me to keep going when times were tough for me.
