He was a Colorado Springs native.
He is survived by the family he taught to be kind, thoughtful and generous of heart as he was: Richard (Kim Gortz), Robert (Julie Walters), Carrie Hibbard Baker (Jared), Tyler (Rebecca); Grandchildren: Sage Baker, Kassie Cole and Oliver Hibbard; Affectionate Grandchildren: Henry and Katie Reaves; and his wife Jeri - a fifty-five year long romance.
He loved people, hiking fourteeners, biking in Moab, a member of the eleven a.m. coffee club,
playing handball and teaching Jared to play, racing his Porsche,
and playing poker with his buddies for 50 years (happily taking their money).
He loved the Catholic Church and was a member of St. Mary Cathedral parish.
