He was a wonderful, loving, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to all who knew him. We will all miss him very much, as will his many friends and extended family. He will be so happy to see Montana and the many loved ones who are in Heaven to greet him and Heaven will be a brighter place.
