Our Husband, Dad, Grandfather and Hero lead our family with a sense of humor and a kindness and
compassion for us, and for all other people. He loved a good joke, even at his own expense. He was
dependable and patient, honest to a fault, and he stood up for what he believed in. His gentleness and
ability to lead helped more than just our family. He helped the people he interacted with in part because
of his deep respect for others and their opinions, and his own unique ability to connect with people.
Our family was fortunate to have such an exceptional and beautiful human being in our lives. He will be
remembered by his family, and many others with great and undying affection.
