He and Shirley lived and raised their family in Crawford where he coached Little League baseball for several years. He loved attending his daughter and son’s many sporting events. He was an avid sportsman. He loved fishing and hunting and passed that passion onto his sons. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and devoted husband.
