His wife Geraldine Ruth (Mickey) Sarchet, oldest daughter Robin Lee Sarchet and two brothers preceded him in death.
During his last days, he spoke of how blessed he had been during his life and the many happy memories he had of his two beloved granddaughters, wonderful friends, raising and showing Arabian horses, his love of music, developing and selling property, acting at the Showboat and his many years of wonderful memories at Priest Lake.
Per his request there will be no memorial services.
