He graduated from North Huron Schools and was a passionate dairy and crop farmer in Lincoln Township. He always loved his Ford tractors; he battled cancer for 6 years until God called him home.
The many visits from friends and family brought him much happiness and comfort. He enjoyed playing cards, watching the Lions football and Detroit Tigers baseball games, and of course rubbing lottery tickets.
