what he called Sarah, was the love of his life and he would do anything for her. His hobbies included fishing, hunting, playing billiards, bowling, and playing Yahtzee with his family. He was great at all of them. He also loved his dogs, Fred and Enzo. After his tumor in 2020, he went to live with his daughter Regina, and grandson, Ande. He loved playing with and picking at Ande, as Ande did him. He would sit and talk on the phone with his sisters Audrey and Saundra for hours and repeat everything over and over but would laugh and have them laughing every time. He had the best stories ever, and was great at telling them. In May 2025, he was diagnosed with cancer, which he fought till the very end. He was a loving, kind hearted, giving, gentle, and fun man who loved his coffee. He was always willing to lend a helping hand with encouraging words. He always made sure that no matter the

task, he was always willing to try his best to be his best! He was loved and will be missed by so many.
