In time they welcomed a son-in-law, Reg, and two daughters-in-law, Linda and Jody. Next came eight grand-children, fifteen great-grandchildren and many foster children.
He was predeceased by: his wife, Mabel; parents, Gustav and Martha; brothers--August, Clarence, Lawrence, and Melvin; sisters--Delphi, Ruth, Rubena, Esther, and Bernice.
Surviving is: Judy (Reg) Demitor, Terry (Linda), Doyle (Jody), eight grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, numerous foster children, sisters--Violet and Leatha, sister-in-law—Eileen, nieces and nephews.
