Everyone in life are unique in many ways and he had many that we will always cherish and remember in our hearts forever. Rememeber his love for things he knew he was not supposed to have such as especially around the holidays he would ask everyone of they were going to cook a ham or pork chops, eating his daughters dressing and along with other things he enjoyed eating which were beans, raw hot dogs, bologna and crackers. And we must not forget him working on cars.
We will miss him dearly, but what we all know is that he enjoyed his life to the fullest.
