He was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, son and brother.  He loved to spend time with the Lord, enjoying what beauty God created through fishing, hunting and gardening.  He was constantly working on old cars and shared memories of his days racing.  He liked to spend time vacationing with family in Florida.  He brought laughter to everyone he met.  He spent his life devoted to the Lord, ministering to anyone who crossed his path.  His wish was to be reunited with family and friends in heaven.
Most of all, he loved his family and instilled in his children strong values that have served them well.  He will be dearly missed and forever in out hearts.
