What a kind and patience gentleman to me just coming into my first job at GW Dahl,after High School, he taught me everything I know in a gentle way in order to understand. After we parted ways he would still take the time to talk to me whenever he saw me. My thoughts go out to the family and his wife Barbara, he is in a safe place now in the arms of the Lord.
