He worked as a logger, fisherman, scuba diver, welder, closet sword fighter, heavy equipment mechanic, pastor, uplifting eulogy minister, and Port commissioner.
His hobbies were storytelling of memories, facts, fiction and utter hogwash to keep listeners on their toes. He enjoyed studying historical literature, politics and astronomy. He loved hunting, and had a refined taste for music and thoughtful lyrics. He assisted youth sports, youth ministry, and supported his seven children’s sports endeavors. He admired nature as God’s masterpiece.
His legacy beyond being an excellent father was the ability to change the atmosphere of any room with his stories, endless pranks, humor and encouragement.
