His family says of him: " To know Dad was to love him. In his 78 years he never met a stranger. Lending a helping hand to anyone in need, he somehow knew how to "fix" or "do" anything. Being the jokester and making others laugh brought him immense joy. If Dad was in the room you felt it; you knew it, even if it was just to hear him laughing at himself! His daughters and granddaughters will each claim to be his "favorite" or his "queen," but his true queen was the love of his life, Bertha. Although he will be missed by his loving, devoted family, Robert Louis Steven's quote describes Dad's life with all of us well…"That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much." Until we meet again, Paw. "
