After retirement, he spent as much time as he could spending time with his grandkids during their various activities, lunch dates, zoo trips, and yearly trips to the pumpkin patch.
He was known for his sense of humor, old sayings, and most importantly, his generous hospitality. He welcomed everyone into his home with a smile and an offer of food and drink.
He will be missed by his wife of nearly 44 years, his children, grandkids, great grandkids, and friends.
