He was born in Bainville, MT October 20, 1927. His 32 year career in the United States Navy included command of the submarines USS Scabbardfish, USS Tilefish, and USS Threadfin. Tours of duty took his family to Oslo, Norway and Ankara, Turkey, as well as seaside ports in California, Florida and Virginia. First and foremost, he was a man of God, always sharing his faith.
