He loved his family and was a very caring and funny man who enjoyed trying to make people laugh. He loved going to Church with his wife and seeing their friends at Grace Reformed Church. Over the last few years of his life he touched so many lives and will always be loved and never forgotten. He was a man of many words and fun stories. Psalm 23: 1-The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2-He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3-He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for his name's sake. 4-Yea, thought I walk throught the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5-Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6-Surely goodness and the mercy shall follow me all days fo my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
