My father was an extraordinary man. Born to a rural mail carrier and a former seamstress, he was an outstanding student, advancing two grades and finishing secondary school in the same class as his two years older brother. He attended the University of Minnesota, earned a degree in Electrical Engineering, graduated summa cum laude and was awarded membership in the
Phi Beta Kappa honors society. While at university in Minneapolis, he joined the brethren fellowship, where he met his future wife, Gladys Symington of Neche, North Dakota. After graduation, he was employed by Westinghouse Electric. During World War II he was classified 4F (needed in industry) so was not drafted.
Westinghouse assigned him first to Pittsburgh and then to Cleveland, where he spent the rest of his career. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Harold and Kenneth, all buried in the cemetery at Echo, Minnesota. None of them were ever in fellowship, although his mother attended the gospel preaching regularly in her later years and was buried by the brethren. It seemed there was nothing he couldn't do. He could ride a bicycle while facing backwards. He learned sign language so he could interpret for the deaf. He could take an automobile engine apart, repair it, and make it run again. He had a marvelous sense of humor and wrote memorable doggerel. He was a tall man, standing six feet two and one half inches and powerfully built, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He taught me to obey my conscience. He wouldn't tell me I could or couldn't do something. He wanted me to be "exercised" about it. I have tried to follow that advice. For many years my father carried a bible that had been a gift from his brother Harold. The inscription cited II Timothy 2: 15. Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth.
Rest in peace, Father.
