After serving three years in the Army he was employed by the Monsanto Corporation for 32 years and during this time he was an active member of the Hadji Shrine Temple and was involved in numerous Shrine fund raising functions. He loved to cook and one of his favorite things was to have family and friends over for a cookout where everyone enjoyed his expertise with the grill. He also loved to garden and was an avid fisherman. We loved him very much and he will be missed.
