He was a loving father. One of the most meaningful ways he expressed his love was every year on my birthday, he called me at 8:34 am - the time I was born - to wish me happy birthday. He would tell me on that day he played the best golf game of his life! He had a great sense of humor and liked to tell jokes. He loved his childhood growing up in Lincoln Co. and often reminisced about the good old days, like going to a one room school house, trains and picking up coal along the tracks, the general store and Aunt Ida and Aunt Mabel and he was a devoted son. Written by his daughter Julia. Friends may visit with the family one hour prior to services at the funeral home on Friday.
