Because of the nature of his illness (a brain tumor), experimental drugs and treatments were performed at Mayo Clinic which helped prolong his life. Because of these experiments some of the drugs and treatments are now available to the public.

Surviving are his wife, Janice, two sons, David and Dennis, Wahpeton; mother, Helen Manning, Wahpeton; two brothers, Rawley, New Hope, Minn.; and Roger, Eagan, Minn.
