They raised five children in Cedar Falls where he worked as a rural mail carrier for 31 years. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow stopped him on his route. His mail patrons remarked that they could set their clocks by his daily deliveries. He loved to joke with the kids on his route, calling all of them “Sam.” Getting a chuckle when they corrected him with their proper name. A true sports enthusiast, he spent many years cheering on his kids and grandkids sports teams as well as the Iowa Hawkeyes and Green Bay Packers. He was a high school basketball and baseball player and enjoyed golf, tennis, skiing and fishing well into his twilight years. He loved spending time with his family, and will be remembered for his kind heart, quick smile and willingness to always lend a helping hand to those who crossed his path. He lived a life of honor and integrity, was dearly loved and will be deeply missed. “Well done good and faithful servant.” He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Myra.
