Spending time with family and watching history channel on T.V. was his quiet time. He was a gifted plumber and repair man. He was willing to assist in family projects such as the lake side camp site for everyone’s enjoyment. He had a deep voice which got your attention when he spoke. A heart of gold lay under the rough exterior and you knew it.
