close friends and co-workers, he was always a source of laughter and
entertainment. He was an avid sports fan, animal lover and always took great pride and
enjoyment in being involved and lovingly supporting his children and grandchildren in activities
they pursued over the years.

Diane Gerot of Lake Oswego, OR; four grandchildren: Justin Robinson,
