will always remember sitting around the dinner table at Thanksgiving or Christmas, listening to my Dad and Uncle Francis tell stories about their younger, wilder days! Uncle Francis could tell a good story, but he wasn't just a character. He was a man of great character. When he told you something important, it was absolutely sincere. He was definitely one-of-a-kind and will be greatly missed.

My father has been described as a 'character' by many, this could be an understatement. His love for the great outdoors
Was his beautiful life, he did much more then most, this is what I admire about him even his stubbornness, dad I love you, no more pain as you sit on the mountain top looking over all of us
