Myron was known for his love of agriculture, legislature, Roberts Rules of Order, but most importantly his family. He served on many township boards, Farmers Union, Drake Fire Department, Harvey & Velva volunteer ambulance service as an EMT, crop improvement, and church boards.  He was also a supporter of Farm Rescue and NDSU Ag research.

Many also knew Myron for his love of flying and his 1972 Cessna 152.  You could find him most mornings during the summer flying over the crops “having his morning coffee.”
