Dad loved nature always pointing out sunrises, sunsets or directing your attention to view the scenery around you or stars above you. Time spent fishing and hunting calmed his stresses and helped him deal with his severe arthritis pain. Sharing his recently caught fish or big game with others gave him joy. A Greenbay Packer fan he enjoyed watching most football games. Country western and rock n roll music lover, religiously watched westerns and action films, attended live music venues, enjoyed BBQ cooking, campfires, drinks and laughs with friends, most important was spending time with family and grandkids. Traveled several times to Vietnam enjoyed learning of the culture, traditions, liked the beautiful countryside, and loved the family he was welcomed to join.
