He had several businesses over the years, a local area school bus contractor, Artic Cat Snowmobile dealer and dumptruck work. He loved doing odd jobs and visiting neighbors. Going snowmobiling and having all the children around gave him the most pleasure.

Surviving children are Karen Locke, (Tex) Allen, Nancy E., Robin Pilotte (Eric), Wendy and companion Paul. Predeceasing him are his sons, Dennis & Jeffrey. They are 14 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
