He proudly served in the United States Army from 1958-1962 and then went on to become a truck driver for Teamsters Local 559. He worked long and hard and trucking was his way of life. His pride & joy next to his boys was the school bus that he worked on with his best friend and turned into the Big Blue Bus Camper. He loved his racing and camping at the racetrack with his sons, friends & family. After his retirement he loved to travel and visit with people. He was always looking for the next adventure. He was the person who would do anything for anybody and would put everybody before himself. He enjoyed building stuff with his hands and teaching people how to build things. He was always on the move and hardly stopped but when he did slow down, he loved spending time with family, fishing and looking for toys to buy that was always his last toy. He was an incredible man who will be missed by many.
