He was a generous, faithful and devoted Christian, whose love for the Lord was the only thing he put before his family. The pride for his family was shown through his support in all their accomplishments whether he was taking his grandkids for a ride on the mower; supporting his children in their growing careers, or picking on whoever was around at the moment. His laughter and love left a lasting impression on numerous brother and sister in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and those who worked alongside him.
