A man whose presence brought light and laughter into the lives of those around him. Known for his roles as a loving husband, father, motivator, hard worker, and a generous spirit who left an incredible mark on all who knew him.

During this time, he successfully completed several certifications to work a government job in weatherization and general contracting, as well as earning his certification for heavy equipment operator.  In 1989, the next chapter of their lives took them to Texas.
