My sincere condolences to the family. Some of my most vivid childhood memories was watching the barn and animals. It was so nice to read about him. He led a very long and seems to be fulfilled life. Much strength and grace to the family.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the whole family. I have so many fond memories visiting the farm as a child, especially going haying and the corn cookouts. He was a great man may he rest in peace.
