His love of travel and adventure took him all over the United States, Europe, The South Pacific, South America and China, where he climbed the Great Wall in his seventies. Dad was unfailingly kind and generous, and above all, honest. He was always available to his children and grandchildren when we needed someone to talk to, and was always willing to give us the benefit of his experience and whatever else we needed.
