He could talk with anyone, always had a smile on his face and cherished laughter. He was honest, hardworking, loving, caring and a whole lot of fun. He was always looking for the best in people and people saw the best in him. He was a man of great faith who along with his wife, volunteered countless hours teaching financial freedom courses for the church. He was an amazing person who brought happiness to so many people.
