Our father was a lifelong Michigan Wolverine and Chicago Bear/Cub fan. He was a born entertainer – singing and playing guitar, banjo, harmonica and piano for/with family and friends. He enjoyed a good joke and a competitive game of golf. Above all he dedicated his life to the support, protection, guidance and happiness of family. He was our pillar of strength and honesty and was a wealth of knowledge, information, advice and humor. Because of him, as his survivors, we are always committed to giving our best. We are proud to be the family of the greatest Husband, Dad and Grandfather in the world, who stayed 29 forever – “how sweet it is”.
