If he could not fix it, he would say he was going to sleep on it and then the next morning it would be fixed. He loved camping, being outdoors, cutting grass and riding his golf cart around his neighborhood. No matter what you needed him to help you with, he was always eager to assist. He shared many good times and fond memories with his family. He enjoyed life but most of all he enjoyed the time spent with his family.
