In his life, he was a loving husband to his wife for over 63 years and an example of generosity to his children, grandchildren and all those he knew. He served the Lord and others by working in the church and by growing a garden large enough to share with everyone. Being able to share his faith, garden and wonderful sense of humor with others brought him unspeakable joy. He was an inspiration to all who came in contact with him during his courageous battle through many ailments within the last three years. Even in his darkest hours, he was filled with grace; he was not concerned for himself, but for others.
