It was a great treat for the children, grandchildren and later great-grandchildren playing with the many puppies he raised over the years. It always brought a smile to his face. His knowledge and expert eye for a champion birddog showed up at many field trials. So many wonderful friends evolved as a result of those trials. Over a lifetime of experience in road construction and heavy equipment management has brought friends and coworkers into his life that are very special today. So many memories......so much love will always be with us.
