He was born and raised in Vale, Oregon and was a founder of Marenakos Rock Center from which he retired in 1996.

He is survived by his loving wife Loretta (nee Stuth), son Bill (Alexandra), daughter Jennifer Frantz (Shon), step-son Scott Verner, step-daughter Andrea Verner, 8 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
