He and Deanne enjoyed traveling and family vacations to Florida, California, New England, Cape Cod, Tennessee, Caribbean and St. Lawrence Seaway cruises and especially the numerous trips to New York City and the Broadway Musicals.

Having been a childhood musician, he had a lifelong love and appreciation of music. He also enjoyed boating at Indian Lake and Lake James Indiana, (pulling the girls 10,000 miles on water skies), the Ohio River and Lake Erie. He was also a lifelong avid fisherman and nature lover having been exposed to both at a young age by his father. He and his friends enjoyed many days fishing in Michigan, Canada, Ohio at Indian Lake, Lake Erie and also in the Florida Keys.

As a husband, father, and friend, he provided a strong foundation that gave so many a sense of security and comfort. Family and friends could always count on him in both good times and difficult ones. He was loyal, compassionate and generous, and he took great joy in sharing his humor, favorite music, and love for Jesus with those around him. He enjoyed worshiping his Father in Heaven and His Savior, Jesus. We are deeply thankful for his life, his love, and the lasting impact he had on so many.
