He truly lived the life of an American:

He worked in a local grain elevator. At some point, he injured his hands there. It stripped his hands, and the doctors told him they would have to cut off his fingers. He told them, ‘I’ll die before you cut off my fingers.’ His hands got better, although they were scarred and a little messed up.

But he did go to college, build a house, and feed a family, all with a single manual laborer's income.
