This describes Dad to a tee….in life, on the golf courses and with all his interactions with people. He was the epitome of a man who lived a good life with strong values and decorum. He served his community in many ways…a proud and productive Rotary member for 44 years and an active member of Calvin Presbyterian Church as an elder with a strong choir voice. An avid golfer and talented gardener, he embraced his community in all aspects. Wise and kind he will forever be remembered as the best father, loving husband and valued friend.
