He always made available his time & talents as a master craftsman and Jack-of-all-trades, to his friends and neighbors. His handmade furniture, toys and turned wooden bowls grace many homes. He had a great love for aviation and was happiest when flying in small aircraft with his pilot buddies. A consumate jokester, he never took himself too seroiusly and kept his scense of humor until the end. He loved his three grandaughters Ellyn, Cassidy & Rylee.
