He lived a life that imitated the life lived in the old west by old Cowboys he read about in famous Western Novels, one of his biggest passions. He liked old tractors, old trucks, and a simple country way of living. He lived a good, happy life, surrounded by friends, and raised a wonderful family. He had a Hart like dry sense of humor that resonated with those who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed by all.
