This picture was him, his army green hat, flannel shirt, his dark tan & watch tan line & dirty nails from working in the yard, strong & silent type, a strong cup of coffee & snack lover, avid paper reader & cross word with a pen… was well loved by us all & I'm pretty sure he loved us all just as much even if he didn't like to say it. He loved fishing, early morning and late evening porch swinging, and making sure there was plenty of feed for the birds and squirrels.
