He was a member of the American Legion Post #1076 and strong supporter of Boy Scout Troop #55 where “we turn boys into great men”. The truest form of a husband, father and “man”. Finest patriot you’ve ever met. He will be missed by family and friends. He has now been brought to God and is truly at peace. “Watch your top Knot”.
