He loved to sing and play his guitar, write songs, golf, hunt, fish, and draw. By trade he was a graphic artist and always put 110% into his work. Later in life he found the lord and began singing and praying with inmates. Taught us to be friendly with all walks of life and not to judge unless you walk in their shoes. He took us in as his own and taught us kids how to do all the things he enjoyed as well as love, patience, forgiveness and to always do your best. I am thankful we had him in our lives and will cherish the memories he gave us.
“Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
