He was a simple man, loving, caring, and giver to all. He never meet a stranger and was a friend for life. He was the go-to guy for anything. Always happy, ready to help, you always had a home if needed the door was always open. He loved family, friends, cars, fishing, and being with everyone. A humble man everyone that knew him loved him.
