Greatest Man I Ever known. Had a interesting life, Worked the family farm, Worked as a Butcher for 14 years in Washington, Missouri. Attended Tool and Die school. Was a Car Salesman, sold Mobile homes. Was Plant manager for a Tool and Die company. Worked for a Company In Sullivan Missouri For years Tool and Die work, making Racing Clutches. But what made him a great Man was his Heart. you needed a home, his was always open. Needed help, he was always there, Even though you get a tongue lashing, but then he'd help.
He really didn't know who his real father was...but was told on his Step-Fathers death bed...Grandpa wished he would have adopted My father (Mike).
Towards the end of his life, he developed Many health issues. Nephropathy & fibromyalgia, Arthritis. And in the end he ended up Wheelchair bound, but that didn't stop him from tinkering on things coming up with crazy ideas to fix things. work on his house. He was a Very proud Man, When he was younger he kind of looked like Elvis.
In 1963 He married his Love of His life Rachel. They were married 55 years before Rachel passed in March of 2019.
He loved her So much, he wanted so much to be with her. 7 months later they was together again.
He had 2 sons Randy And Christopher. He has 3 granddaughters, 2 Great-grandchildren. His Family was He pride and joy. he was proud of his family. He always said he would always take care of his family, if he was able.
One morning early a week before, he found him collapsed on the floor. he had fallen. and stopped breathing. He had stopped breathing too long. And had brain damage. We lost our father. We had to make the Hardest Decision anyone has to make. We let him go, to be with Mom.
He met many people, Friends with many people. Met famous people. Always had a silly story to tell. And he had a good story too...kept you interested. Full of detail. He taught my Wife his daughter-in-law many ways to build things Fix things, she loved him dearly. He took her in when she had no where else to go. She always said she called him "Dad".
He will be missed by his Family dearly. He loved Family, Corvettes, Great Danes which his favorite Was a Merle Great Dane Named Baxter. And Music (80's & 90's) anything with a good tune.
Most of all He was My Dad. I love you Dad take care of Mom, will ya.
