He loved his fish and tending to them. Many times we would come to visit with them and sit by the pond. Sometimes it would turn to work but I always enjoyed our time's together.

Audrey and I always had a great time when ever the four of us would get together. We would sometimes go to the outlets in Hagerstown and after we where all finished shopping he would say we are close to Gettysburg Let's Go! I didn't really know any of my uncles over the years. But when he called on me for some help with a hot water tank. We hit it off and from that time on we became great friends not only family. We had many hard laughs and good times together.
