A virtuous man who taught by example how to live, a hard worker who always put his family first. He was a farmer and some of my happiest memories as a child are of things we did together. Riding on the tractor as he plowed the fields, taking grandma's left-over biscuits out to the pond to feed the fish and going for Sunday drives. He loved sports and there was always a game on. He even had a baseball field behind the farmhouse when he was young and my mother remembers the Model T cars coming up the dirt road with his friends to play. To stay in shape, as if farm work wasn't enough, he used a car axle as a bar bell.
He died at the age of 71. He is missed daily.
