He was an active member of his community giving much of his time and many of his talents; he truly enjoyed helping others. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, gardening, lawn work, and deer hunting. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and liked puzzles and snowmobile riding. Spending time with his dogs, Lady and Little Lady, was a great joy. Above all, he loved his family.
