Under his direction from 1961 to 2000, the family business, The Park Nurseries grew and prospered.

Some of them include Presbyterian Homes & Services of MN, Board of Directors; Washington County H.S.I., Board; Presbyterian Homes Foundation, MN Nursery & Landscape Association, Past President; Kiwanis, Past President; Roselawn Cemetery, Board of Directors., etc. Wed., August 12th there will be a visitation at 4:30 followed by a 5:00 memorial service, refreshments and lemon meringue pie up to 7:30 in the Swanson Memorial Chapel and Town Hall at Boutwell's Landing, 5600 Norwich Pkwy., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082.
