He held many callings throughout his life and always said, “Wherever I am called to serve, I will go.” He served an LDS mission in the Eastern States Mission in his youth and would later serve multiple service missions with his wife and continued to do so after her passing.

He loved family history work and enjoyed serving in the temple. He was a faithful record keeper and kept a daily journal and studied the scriptures until his passing.

He had a Christ-like gift of charity and truly loved those he served. He was devoted to using his talents to bless the lives of others. He had many skills ranging from mechanics and carpentry to concrete work, of which he used to serve the Lord, his country, his family and friends.
