He was an avid fan of Detroit sports, fishing and spent many years in different trades including hospitality which he took great pride in his work. His humor and care for others were his bright spots that left many memories that cannot be replaced. The family appreciates the community and friendship support that we have received during this difficult time. At this time no services are planned.
