Opa was born in Haag Am Hausbruck, Austria. He spent the first part of his life in Austria where he helped his Father with his gravel business and eventually built a home and started his own family with his loving wife Gusti. Two sons, Herbert and Walter were born in Austria. In 1952 Opa decided that his future was across the ocean in America. He immigrated first to Canada leaving his wife and two sons in Austria. He was able to work and save the money necessary to bring his little family to Canada. They settled in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada where two more sons, Wilhelm and Peter and his daughter Gaby were born. In 1963 carried on a wing and a prayer he again moved his family to Salt Lake City, Utah. It was here that many memories were made and the lives of his children blossomed. Opa was a proud member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he held many positions. His labor of love for the Church was doing name extraction work. He translated an untold amount of documents that enabled many to have their temple work completed.
