My thoughts and prayers are with the family right now. I will remember him as being a kind and gentle man with a sense of humor. I have fond memories of me,Sheri,Jody and Kim swimming in the pool outside of the residence above the Trading Post. I also have memories of the family coming to Gene and Wanda's house for the holidays. I will never forget him he was a good man and I am proud to have known him. Sorry for the families loss.
