Remembering airplanes rides, hand stands in Clark Lake, picking blueberries at the Funny Farm, and a contagious smile and laughter. He caught the only walleye that day on Whitefish Lake in Sylvania and it was shared with eight of us! I am certain you will miss him much and remember him well.

Remembering airplane rides, hand stands in Clark Lake in Sylvania, and his contagious smile and laughter. He caught the one and only walleye that day on Whitefish Lake, we shared it among eight of us! Great times. I know you'll miss him much and remember him well.
