They were blessed with 15 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-granddaughter.

In 1961, he moved his family to California to pursue his career and later retired in Mesquite, NV, where he passed peacefully at home at 90. He is preceded in death by his wife, Charlotte; son, Kyle; and grandsons, Travis and Raymond. His presence was a constant comfort and will be deeply missed.
