He took pleasure in going to the senior center every weekday with his wife to play bingo. He was a hard working man who loved to garden and work in the yard and around the house. He was a wonderful husband, great father and provider, a quiet spirit and a friend to all who knew him. He loved to eat, especially eating out, and he would dance every chance he got which made him very popular at family and social gatherings. Most of all, he loved Jesus and had the peace of the Lord in his heart. One of his favorite scriptures was Psalm 90. His kind, sweet and gentle spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him. This world was a better place because of his presence. We are thankful to have had him so many wonderful years.
