Our Dad moved to Tucson in 1957, graduated from Catalina High School in 1964, and the University of AZ in 1970. Dad had a love of golf and played the sport throughout his life. He also had a passion and involvement in local car racing for himself and his son, Michael. His enthusiasm for cars carried over as founder and owner of Canyon Auto Sales since 1983. Our Dad never met a stranger, everyone he met became his friend. His dry wit and humor will be greatly missed throughout the Tucson Community whose lives he touched. Dad, you will always be in our hearts.
