At age 84, Dad went to be with his Lord on January 4 with his family by his side. He is survived by his beloved wife, Edith, and children Betsy (Ritchie), Grace, Ruth (Fenn), Bill, Joan (Wrigley) and fourteen grandchildren.

He served as a lieutenant in the Navy and opened a medical practice in Des Moines in 1950 (Des Moines Medical Offices). Dad's love of the Lord was shown through his service at Des Moines Gospel Chapel and Lakeside Bible Camp.

Services were held on January 12. Memorial contributions can be made to Lakeside Bible Camp at lakesidebiblecamp.org.
