He was my father in law for a brief time and though we didn't spend much time together because we lived so far apart, I always found him to be strong, gentle and kind. I'm sure his family misses him dearly. My love to all of you.

I met him, his wife and Leslie, Kim and Bobby when I was 11 years old and we moved in across the street. He was a great dad and husband and drove a way cool truck. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
