There are so many dear memories we have of our precious husband, dad, grandpa, great (greatest) grandpa. He was such a kindhearted, gentle person who never knew a stranger. He loved his animals, doing his gardening and working on cars with his sons. His daughter was daddy’s little girl and was his pride and joy. Playing games with his kids and family time was the most precious important things to him. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and teaching us to ride bikes. He had the most amazing patience and because of that he taught most of us all how to drive. There are so much more special memories that we could write a novel. He was the most loving, amazing man in all our lives.
Written by his broken-hearted wife, daughter, sons and 2 granddaughters, Misty, and Candice.
