One of his greatest loves was being a part of his daughter's families and sharing all the special time that he spent with them. He lost his beagle "Lizzy" last year and she was a great friend during his retiring years. He loved spending time hunting & fishing with the boys, spending time at Court's motorcycle races and Jonathan's car racing. Kathryn was special being the one and only girl, All Star cheerleading and a playing softball at the park growing up and her High School Runner up Softball Championship.
