They moved to a farm northeast of Tappen in 1951. They welcomed their son, Michael, to the family in 1952 and daughter, Vernetta, in 1955. Mike loved farming and ranching. He took pride in his work. He enjoyed hunting and trapping on the farm. He was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, The Fraternal Order of Eagles and The Loyal Order of Moose.
