He will always be remembered for his love of country music, and you could always hear it playing very loudly on Honky Tonk Friday Nights. He was happiest when he was “humming and strumming” on his guitars. He always loved dogs and was incredibly proud to have rescued 10 Old English Sheep Dogs. A man of many talents, he enjoyed oil painting, drafting, and calligraphy. He was Papa to all who knew him and he will be greatly missed.
