His greatest love in life was his family. He got so much joy from spending time together, especially with his grandson Cam and his three dogs: Charlie, Harper and Chloe. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Due to the current circumstances involving the coronavirus disease, there will be no public visitation. A private graveside service will be held at Clermont Cemetery.
