His first job after marriage was at the Cross Ranch near Nanton, Alberta. After several years, they rented a farm near Onoway, Alberta. From there he worked on farms in Fort Saskatchewan, Alcomdale, and a ranch near Fort Steele, BC. He began a career with the CPR in 1966 and retired from there after 27 years of service.
He will be sadly missed by his wife of 65 years Inge; his immediate family Gisela Ecklund, Karl and Katharine Nimmert, Edith and Werner Epp and Doug Schulties. He will also be missed by 12 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
