He worked hard for them and with them to help them grow and develop. He enjoyed spending time with them on bike rides, fort building, rough housing, Legos, kitty and animal play, and every little girl game they made up. They made frequent trips to the Zoo, the Science and Natural History Museum, and the Aquarium during winter months with short days. He was a beloved father who thought of his children first in all things.
