He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He loved to work with his John Deere tractors, fishing, hunting and being outdoors. He was a very strong-willed, hardworking man who always put his family first, and this included being a very devoted son, caring for his parents in every way possible. Treva and her family would like to extend a very sincere thank you to White Rose Hospice for their generosity and the wonderful care that they extended to Junior during the past four months of his illness. A special thank you to his special RN nurse John Dommer and also Sue Eaton and all the staff. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now; He set me free.
