He went on to work for the Marion City School System in the print shop for an additional 12 years.

His joy, his laughter and the sparkle in his eyes will forever be remembered by his family and friends as he cheered from the sidelines and watched them with such deep love and pride in all of their accomplishments. His love for nature and enjoying the simple pleasures of birds, trees and flowers was so endearing and all that knew him will cherish all of the memories that he left us and the future influences that he will have on us.
