He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
He served his country in the United States Marine Corps during World War II in the Pacific Theater. He was with the 1st and 6th Division Bomb Disposal Unit.

His life was such a wonderful example of sharing God's work and how much he cared and loved everyone he came in contact with. He truly lived the way every day and left his family with a Godly legacy.
