home after a lengthy illness. He was born in LaCrosse, WI where he attended
Aquinas High School. He earned a BS Degree in Secondary Education from Wisconsin
State College. Following his service in the Army, he attended the University of
Wisconsin where he earned a BS in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduating, he

traveling and camping with his wife, Marian and family.
