He had a great talent and once he got an idea or a plan in his head, he worked at it until he finished it the way he wanted it to be. He had a sense of humor that was contagious. He enjoyed telling jokes, stories and trying to get the best of his grandchildren. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and tinkering in his shop. He was well known for his “Horseshoe Hangout” and for many years he welcomed all who came to put their brand and a horseshoe on his wall.
