He was an avid bowler for 67 years and appeared on Big 3 Bowling on television.

He coached them in bowling when they were young and instilled in them a love for the game. He was a competitive card and corn hole player, loved to travel, and never knew a stranger. He enjoyed helping others, volunteering his time, checking on the well-being of others, and giving others a good laugh every now and then. He loved visiting his daughter Cindi in The Villages in Florida and sit at the square to people watch. He was loved and will be missed by all.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions no formal services will be held at this time. A private graveside service will take place now and a memorial service is being planned for a later date.
