Dad was a man who held high ethics; a man of extreme integrity. His passions in life were his American Saddlebred horses, (he was riding his horses close to the age of 90), his Shetland ponies, and German Shepherd dogs. Dad lived a full life and was always active until recently, whether it be cutting the lawn with the riding mower or tinkering on a fix-it project. Our father was a very hard working man; who lived a simple life. Nothing was thrown away. Dad could fix or make something out of anything.
Our father's greatest pleasure in life was his family. We thank him for the values that he instilled in us. He will be greatly missed by each and every one of his family!
