Our precious Dana described Papa perfectly, "Heaven just got itself a Johnny Cash, old western movie, loving angel, that was a softie at heart... with an extra soft spot for cats and desserts!

When Papa was asked what his hobbies were he always answered, " Trucks and grandchildren!!"

Papa was dearly loved and will be greatly missed!
