From His Family

Dad loved being a carpenter and a farmer. He was a wonderful father and did everything he could for his children. He built both of his children’s homes. He had lifelong friends. One spoke about when he had nothing our father loaned him a car and helped him get his start in farming. He said he would never forget his kindness and friendship.
He was a good person and had a good heart. Sometimes a little too good and probably got taken advantage of but he still was willing to help.
He loved farming, his tractors, and his overalls. He believed in the Lord and didn’t believe in working on Sunday. He loved gospel music and going to gospel and bluegrass singings. He referred to his granddaughter Sondra as his angel and left here to join us on Jesus’ birthday! We love you Dad, and you will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed.
