He determinedly wooed her on his guitar and they were married not long after. He was a talented musician, devoted family man and successful business owner. After retiring, he took great pleasure in mentoring his sons. He exemplified the principle of "being a man of your word." He built several businesses on that principle and was proud of the fact that his sons followed that example. His wisdom and strength will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
