He was such a character he loved to pick and make faces that you would get a kick out of.  He Loved his wife and she loved him they were the best image of what God would want a marriage to be. He was a great role model for his Sons and Grandchildren always talked about the Lord and would give the best advice even if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
