He worked as a professional engineer and loved tinkering with mechanical and electronic equipment. He was a brilliant man with many interests and areas of expertise. He was awarded three U.S. patents and enjoyed playing the accordion for the family and at retirement facilities in Enumclaw and the Orting Washington Soldiers Home.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Jan, and son, Christopher Arthur.
