Continuing his musical career in Milwaukee, he played weekends at the Bavarian Wurst Haus for 20 years with many Steve Swedish units and other groups. During his 50 years, he witnessed the ever-changing popular music scene from the 40's to the 90's. Polkas were his favorites. He loved every "gig" and over the years these totaled over 3,000. He stopped accepting "gigs" in 1990.Memorials:In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to further Alzheimer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Attn: Development Office for Alzheimer's, 8701 Watertown Plank Rd., P.O.
