Our dad loved Good Ole Country Music, Harley Davidsons, practical jokes,
and was an avid lover of the outdoors. He especially excelled in the
arts of Hunting and Fishing. Nothing pleased our father more then to
pass this love and passion onto his children and grandchildren.
Our dad loved his family immensely and was so proud to be a part of
their lives. He truly enjoyed watching his children grow into the men
and women he strived so hard to mold them to be. He absolutely loved
family gatherings of all types, engaging in conversations with loved
ones and good friends, playing practical jokes, and especially loved the
sound of laughter. He would do just about anything to hear you laugh! He
was the most caring, loving, humorous, heartfelt human being, and he
touched the lives of the many who knew him. He was a light for many, he
made you find that smirk when you just wanted to cry, and he would be
the 1st to give the shirt off his back or the last $1 in his
pocket, come here give me a hug, wipe those tears, and give me a huge
smile type of man!
Daddy, thank you for sharing your life with us, we are all so proud to
be your children and to have shared your life. We will miss you
immensely, but never forget your smiling face! May we all honor your
memory for generations to come! We LOVE YOU!!
