When I met your dad he reminded me of mine. Very friendly, likes to jokes. I consider Barb a sister and her dad gave me the feeling as I was part of the family to. So welcoming man. So blessed that I got to meet him. He is going to be missed alot. My prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.

One of my memories of dad was when he made boats for each of us to float on the lake of Duluth at a cabin we rented one summer. He was pretty proud so were we the actually worked. Dad put every effort into everything he did and he tried to install it in us kids. His work ethic is one thing like the memory of the boat that will always carry on. You will be missed but never forgotten love you daddy💕

One of my oldest memories of dad was when he would wake up at 4am every day to go to work. When I was little I would sometimes wake up to watch him get his coffee and have a cigarette (it was the 1970's). Mom and him would sometimes be talking. Pop taught me what it was to work hard and I will always be grateful for everything he did to do the best he could. I love you and will see you again one day.
