He is survived by Joan, his loving wife of 61 years, daughters Jean (David Farr) and Kathryn (Jeff) Boehmer, grandsons Alexander and Zachary Boehmer, sisters-in-law Alice Cook and Kathleen Sullo, and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Ida, and his siblings, Roderick, Orland, Elinor Reamy, Jean Gardner, and Donald.
