He was the proud grandfather/Mishomis to David, Albert, Naomi, Karaka, Mandaago, Sterling, Hope, Zaagii, and Clayton. Before David's stroke, he did not hesitate to travel many miles to attend those special events in his childrens and grandchildrens lives. No matter where his kids lived he made efforts to go see them.
