After living in California for a short time, they found their permanent residence in Loveland, Colorado.

They were both long time active members of Immanuel Lutheran Church. They are survived by two daughters, Malory & husband Jeff Zundel of Loveland, Sarah & husband Joel Sydlow of Denver; and three grandsons Mitch Zundel, Joe Sydlow, and Sam Sydlow. They are also survived by siblings Lois and her husband Doug Underwood of Loveland, Pat and her husband Dan Metzler of Oklahoma, Bob and his wife Carolyn Kamtz of Loveland, Jim and his wife Steph Kamtz of Loveland, Jeff and his wife Kris Kamtz of Arizona, many nieces and nephews, and numerous friends throughout the flying community.
