He lived life to the fullest. He was an avid hunter, enjoying deer hunting in Tioga a nd Potter Counties along with his son and grandson. He enjoyed traveling all around the United\ States and Canada with his wife, her sisters and brothers and brother-in-laws. Riding his Harley Davidson throughout the United States with Carol and Steve and other friends. He enjoyed woodworking in his workshop, making blanket chests, bird houses and trash cans for all to enjoy. Most of all he enjoyed being around family and friends. He had a sparkling smile and a wonderful sense of humor. He was very easy going and never let too many things bother him. Even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's' he still maintained (for the most part) his sense of humor. Dancing around the living room or kitchen with the caregivers, and giving them hugs or kisses. We are very thank full for all of the caregivers we had over the years, they truly are Angels sent from Heaven with patience of Saints.
