Upon retirement he and Mom moved to the cottage at Sunset Bay were they spent many happy years. There they made many friends and Dad loved every season, whether it was snowmobiling or running around on his four-wheeler. Once his grand daughter was born he and Mom loved spending time with her at the lake. The enjoyed this simple life until Dad's illnesses became too great and they gave up the cottage. One of dad's greatest joys was his children and his only grandchild Shelby. In the past several years he enjoyed life through them and their adventures. Dad was extremely proud of all of us and we will miss him terribly. At his request there will be no service and he asks that everyone remember the good times they shared with him.
