There he worked at the Fairview Training Center in the late 70’s, early 80’s. He also drove school bus for many years in the Amity area as well as the Woodburn area.

Most recently he volunteered three times a week to play solo and sing for Northend Senior Solutions in Lincoln City. He was loved and will be missed dearly. What goes up…. Must come down.
