As they became adults, he focused his attention to his children at school and it was always his intention to be a great role model and to make a difference to their lives in any way. He was a dedicated and devoted coach and this gave him the opportunity to stay involved with children. As his family grew, and he became Grandpa, he continued to be a big influence in all ways in their lives.
