An honorable man that loved his wife, his children & grandchildren. He was kind to others & always enjoyed putting a smile on someone's face.
Whether a silly joke, a baked good, a handmade card or a photo he had taken.

He loved history and learning. He loved music & photography. He was a proud Lifetime Mason & Union representative that always tried to help other members. He was a good friend to many & he will be missed. He loved God & spoke of being happily reunited with his late wife Dixie.

Rachelle and family,

I am so sorry to hear about your dad passing away. I remember all of the goodies he would bake and bring over; plus all the wood projects we used to do together.

May you have comfort and peace during this time. ^j^ ^j^ ^J^

Always enjoyed talking to Stuart at Rachelle and Scott's, enjoyed receiving his cards and pictures of his dogs. He really loved his dogs and they were a great comfort to each other. God Bless You
