Dad was a multi-skilled man who knew how to fix anything and everything. Dad found the Lord and got baptized and decided he wanted to spread the gospel and became a preacher and traveled around to prisons to minister to the inmates. Dad loved the Lord and his family with all his heart he gave endlessly and did not ask for anything in return. His passion was Jesus, fishing and spending time with family and friends. This brought him the most Joy. Dad loved life and loved to joke and make people laugh, he always lent a helping hand to those in need wherever he could.
