I married Hap and Mary Jane's daughter, Jacquie, 35 years ago. My father-in-law was truly a wonderful husband, father, parent-in-law, grandfather, leader, community minded citizen and an all around good guy. He will truly be missed by his loved ones and friends. I am thankful that I had the good fortune to have known him these past 35+ years.
