He was an expert in his field of construction. He loved helping others. Over the years we got to know him as a dear friend. He loved his family,especially his grandchildren. They lite up his life. An avid reader. He would sit down and share Citadel stories with my husband, books and politics and health...

Choppy and I go back to the playground days. My wife JoAnn went to school with him. I lost contact with him as we went to different High Schools. Hooked up with him at BE reunion in the 80´s. He had married a friend of mine. We have been in touch with each other ever since then. Just talked. With him on the phone about a week or so ago. We will miss him.
