He loved the outdoors - Hunting, Fishing, and Camping. He had a Record Deer Rack to his credit. His Chevy truck and camper held many, many happy memories. He took us to Yellowstone, California, The South West, and all over the Colorado Mountains. One highlight that stands in our memory was old County Line Road with all the up and downs. ""Do it again Daddy!"" the kids would yell. The best was at Yosemite about 11:00 PM when the truck started to act up. He knew we would be in trouble. No one around and five kids, pitch black. Again, ""Do it again Daddy!"" every time the truck would stall. Let's not forget about Alaska. The fun of going through Wyoming, Montana, and all the way through Canada to the Yukon and into Alaska. The Hot Springs, the Alcan Highway Fairbanks, Anchorage and Valdez, Mt. McKinley, The Pipe Line. He tried to show us the beautiful world. He loved his family and enjoyed the many get togethers, especially the Jack Horner Christmas Eves. We had so many laughs. He was a very good person and always took care of us and worried about us even when he was so sick. We'll miss ""Langie"".
