After moving to Cooperstown, ND, he enjoyed meeting his buddies for early morning coffee at the Coachman Inn.

Survivors are his nephew, Jerome (Irene) Askelson from Fargo, ND and his great niece, Mary Askelson from Portland, OR and several cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Helen Askelson and an infant brother.
