Red was a real people person and this was reflected in the various jobs he held which included 6 years as a trooper with the State patrol, and the past 36 years working for NEBCO in the area of sales and management. Throughout the years Red was an active member of many organizations including the Masonic Lodge Scottish Rite, Sesostris Shrine Temple, Moose Lodge, Elks Lodge, VFW Post 131, American Legion Post 8, Disabled American Veterans, and St. Marks United Methodist Church. He was past president of the Lincoln Home Builders Association and an Officer of the Nebraska Concrete Masonry Association. Red was a member of the United States Army and a veteran of World War II.
We all remember Red for his generosity, loyalty, friendliness, and zest for life. Whatever he decided to do he gave it 100% whether it be his job, his golf game, or cheering on his favorite football team. His enthusiasm for life was contagious to all. Many of us were fortunate enough to share a golf game with Red, swim and boat at his cabin, or simply be a part of his festive get - togethers.
On a scale of one to ten, Red was definitely an eleven when it came to the devotion he gave to his family. Nothing was more important to him than his beloved Jean, wife of forty- eight years, the children, their spouses, and four precious grand-daughters. Yet, he always had room in his heart for the love of his extended family and wide circle of friends. The word stranger was never in Red's vocabulary and lucky are the people who came within his reach.
Everyone always said Red was so lucky - His basement was full of door prizes and he was certain that a lottery ticket had his name on it. But as we all know, we were the lucky ones to have him in our lives.
