Through his life, he owned three different Culligan franchises and earned many top performance awards. Myron worked very hard to provide for his family and played just as hard. He flew as a private pilot and loved his plane. His passion for off-road racing eared him the Nissan Cup Championship in 1984. He is considered a “Legend” and will greatly be misses in the racing community. He had a checkered past under the checkered flag-red cup in hand with a big smile on his face. He loved everything including but not limited to cars, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, jet skis, hunting, golfing, shuffleboard, RV’s and partying. He was a devout republican and attended both the Trump Inauguration and the Woman’s March on Washington. Many, many people loved Myron. He had countless friends. He was renowned for his kindness and generosity, and for playing “Santa” every year for less fortunate children. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. A celebration of life will be held at Silver Lakes Clubhouse on 27801 Mountain Springs Road in Helendale, California at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday the 27th of October. Another celebration is planned for November at Croel Deer Camp in Michigan. Please join us for a toast to Myron.
