With a Laugh like no other. He always knew how to make us all smile. He could always make us all laugh and have a joke or slick comment for any situation.
He was the type of person who would do anything for anybody. He valued hard work, honesty, and the value of a man’s word.
He was a good dancer, loved horses, and watching westerns -he’s seen every Gunsmoke rerun. He always wanted the best for everyone and knew how to bring out the best in people- especially those he loved. He coached his son, Stephen, in an undefeated baseball season and always watched out for his siblings.
At the end said he was ready to meet the lord and reunited with the ones that went before. While his family and friends will miss him dearly, it is a comfort to know that he is at piece.
