He worked for Lukkari Bros. for six years, learning a builders trade, then finished his work 35 years with the Ontonagon County Road Commission, retiring in 2003, then time tinkering and building projects around the farm.

He is survived by his loving wife Donna (Wells) Kaurala of 59 years, three sons; Raymond (Laurie) Kaurala of Nisula, Michigan, Aaron (Lori) Kaurala of Berkley, Michigan, Dale Kaurala of Nisula, Michigan and one daughter Elizabeth (Dale) Kemppainen of Iron River, Michigan, Cheryl (Dan) Meister, Rick & Deb and grandchildren; twenty-eight grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren; Brother William (Bill) and Kathy Kaurala, Aunt Elvie Field of California and numerous cousins.
