His greatest happiness was spending time with his family. It is with a heavy heart, we write that our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and hero, fought the impossible fight for as long and as hard as he could. ALS took his body, but it will never take his soul. He touched the lives of everyone he knew. He will be missed greatly by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.”
