He Joined the Army at a young age and served proudly.
After his service he started truckin! A bad accident left him in a wheelchair for the last 40 years of his life.
He became a coin and art collector, a brass shop owner, gardener, poker player, dog trainer, and an amazing Father, husband, brother, and Uncle to many.
He always looked on the bright side, and no matter how bad his health got, he always said "there's someone who's worse off than me."
He fought hard till the end, and is loved, and will be missed by many.
Funeral will be held at Sunset Funeral home in St. Anthony, Saturday Sept. 8 at 11am with visitation at 10am.
