His family will always remember him as a hard worker, loving and caring person. His grandchildren will never forget the nicknames and songs he would whistle at all times of the day. Anytime he would visit his family, he would bring a treat showing his thoughtful consideration. He would not hesitate to help family in need, whatever the situation. The small things in life are the memories we will cherish forever; bringing his daughter lunch, taking his grandkids to the casino and bingo, and taking care of his cows. Nobody is perfect, and life is hard, but his heart was always filled with love for those around him until his last day.
