His largest life contribution, one that he was extremely proud of, was his involvement as a Mason, 50 years and a Ben Hur Shriner, 25 years.
His biggest accomplishments though, were not his career or commitment as a Shriner; but his family and family in the community he began to create. Neighborhood watchman, big hearted, full of life, storyteller, thoughtful, caring, and a good man are all words that were often used to describe him. The first one to greet you and the last one to leave. The man in the room with the biggest smile and friendliest face. The gift of gab, some would say he could make a tree talk back to him. Most importantly, above all else; a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
