Myron loved tinkering with all small engines, reading about trains, cars, trucks, and tractors. He also loved the company of his friends and helping them in any possible way he can. He was always looking for the next project to work on and always staying busy.
A strong faith foundation was always important to Myron. He spent countless hours volunteering at St. John Church with the festivals, maintenance at the cemetery, snowplowing and in other various capacities.
