His public relations career with APS and later with Samaritan Health Services has honored him with numerous local and national awards.

Among his life-long involvement with many community service organizations he was a founder of Barrows Neurological Institute.

He is the author of "Along the Old Vulture Road", a real tribute to his love, interest and commitment to Arizona and the old west.

Also feeling the loss, are their 5 children: Barbara, Richard, Ronald, Bonnie and Randy, and daughters-in-law; Kathy and June Tudor, as well as 9 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and countless friends and colleagues.
