He was an avid sportsman, enjoying golf, downhill skiing, and fishing. He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Helen; loving daughters, Jill (Steve) Zoet, Kristi (Thad) Temple, Nancy (Robert) Koning, Paula (Todd) VanDuine; 13 grandchildren, Lucas (Lana), Rachel (Druvis), Mary-Caitlin (Ron), Ethan, Emily, Seth, Katie (Scott), Justin (Kristi), Anna, Tess, Gillian, Olivia, Micah; five great-grandchildren, Brady, Elijah, Christopher, Blake, Maja; sister, Beverly (Ron) Clark; and sister-in-law, Lorraine Gorton.
