Once retired he crossed the "Cheddar Curtain" and dedicated his time to bettering the community and it's youth including the Youth Center, Elkhorn Area Food Pantry, volunteering at Ribfest, Dasfest, Christmas meals, and Church.
He loved his family and built the Farm for Everyone to gather and enjoy each other's company. He also enjoyed skiing, horseback riding, playing cards, entertaining, including others, weeding, flowers, a pristine landscape and woodwork and windows without fingerprints.
He was an amazing, dedicated, hardworking, philanthropist and lover of good times, a good drink with family and friends, quality light bulbs that match and frames that were always straight.
