Myron met his wife, Mary, on a blind date while in college and they were married in 1970.
In August of 1970 Myron began working for Fleming Foods in data processing. He worked at Fleming for 31 years. He not only took pride in his work, he truly cherished the friends he made at the company. Following his time at Fleming, Myron worked at HAC, Inc. until his retirement in 2016.
Myron had a true passion for Oklahoma State University. For many years every weekend in the fall was dedicated to watching the Cowboys play football. Upon his retirement, Myron and Mary moved to Stillwater. Myron enjoyed living on the OSU golf course and attending multiple sporting events. Myron was a long time Alumni Association member and OSU Posse Club member. He also enjoyed golf, which he never mastered but he didn't care, corvettes, boats, and anything else with a fast motor. He met many lifelong friends he shared these passions with. Myron's true love was spending time with his kids and grandkids.
