My father was an amazing man who went out of his way to help those who needed help. He worked extremely hard & accomplished many great things in his life. He loved to travel and loved being outdoors. My fondest memories will be those of us hiking through woods(mostly off trail), fishing and just riding his motorcycle down the freeway with no major destination in mind. My father was capable of making you laugh on your hardest day. He was known and loved by so many people in his life. Til we meet again Dad❤
