was never short of electrical tape or iodine

not only charm the bees, but just about anyone he met

Winemaker and Wine drinker, but only if it tasted like Grape Juice. He made an amazing Blackberry

Wine

Camper – He loved the outdoors and took us camping as often as he possibly could. We even spent one entire summer in a pop-up camper so that we could be as close as possible to family.

Gardener – He grew some of the best tomato's around and just loved having his hands in the dirt and caring for something.
