His great joy was helping others and was fondly known to many as "Tiny." He held great joy in being a husband, father and grandfather, which extended to every child he met.

For many years he organized a prison run to ISP in Fort Madison carrying the message of freedom to those brothers locked down.

He was a great supporter of "Toys for Tots," Toy runs, and "The American Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments." He was at his best when working on, riding and talking about Harley Davidson Motorcycles. He was a true biker, brother and friend. May we all see him in the wind!
