I had two brothers. Our youngest brother Curt passed from congestive heart failure at the age of 29 in 2000. The middle brother Kris did work in the business, but he’s a chef in California now. We grew up with a small broom that was in the corner, so there were no excuses that we couldn’t push it. We started with the broom and moved into foundry work, shoveling sand and breaking out molds and then cutting and grinding. Back in those days, we did an awful lot of aluminum props for Volvo Penta, and we had to paint them, so I painted a lot of props as a kid.
