He loved hanging out with his wife going to the zoo and Greenfield Village, riding his bike, traveling with his camper, being out on his boat fishing and being outdoors. He spent a lot of his time with his dogs, Luna, Rio and Cricket and bird, Ollie. He enjoyed playing his slots on the computer, listening to Elvis and George Jones and watching “Live PD.” He looked forward to answering the “question of the day” on Alexa. One of his proudest accomplishments was that he quit smoking in April 2010. He loved spending time with his grandkids in person and on FaceTime and wanted to be remembered as a devoted papa. He will be remembered for “the eye” and the “Papa promise.” He loved to make people laugh! As per his wishes, he was cremated and there will be no service. He will be forever missed.
