There was nothing he loved more than spending time with his kids and grandkids/ great and great-great. When they weren’t visiting, he enjoyed working in his garden, growing the most amazing vegetables and flowers, watching Western movies and spending time with the love of his life.

He touched the lives of so many and made the world a kinder place just by being in it.
