Before his Alzheimer’s robbed him of his abilities, he liked puttering around in his workshop, working in the yard and even shoveling snow.  One of his favorite pastimes was sitting on the porch watching the world go by and talking to the people walking past.  He loved his family, especially his three grandsons of whom he was extremely proud.
