Survivors include his wife of over 58 years, Sharon; son, Tim (Melodee Meyers) Kotter, Superior; daughter, Tami (Michael) Susens, Superior; grandson, Cody (Jameson, Liam, Maverik) Spencer and fiance Lynette Ewing (Gracie), Superior; several step-grandchildren and step-great grandchildren; brother-in-law, Bob Plunkett and five nephews (Brian, Mike, Pat, Bob, Greg).
