Married to mom for 52 years, he was Daddy to three daughters and one son, two sons-in law and one daughter-in-law. He was Papaw to seven grandchildren and two granddaughters-in-law. He contracted Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion during triple bipass heart surgery in 1977 and received a liver transplant in 1993. In 2004, doctors discovered that the transplanted liver had cancer (and they said it probably was there when they transplanted it) and gave him two years to live with no hope of another transplant. He fought bravely, right to the end. Always the optomist, He exercised daily on the bicycle and in fact, only three weeks before his death he bowled in a local tournament. He was a friend to everyone and was always there to lend a helping hand to family and friends. He is sorely missed, even now.
