A man with many hobbies, he was an avid bass fisherman enjoying many days on his boat and loved his RV to travel with his wife and camp with his family and friends.

He also enjoyed wood working, reading, cooking, talking on the phone and riding his grandchildren around on his many back yard toys.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and shared adventures. His devotion to his family and his strong character were unwavering. He took great pride in his children and great joy in his grandchildren and was known to boast about them often.
