He loved to golf, take road trips, watch and coach sports, and was a devoted family man, supporting Kelly, Andy, and Dan in their own explorations, activities and families. He was an active church member (Zion in Laramie, Gloria Dei in NE Mpls., and Zion in Albert Lea), and a positive force in every community with which he became involved. In short, a Good Man.
