In his early years, he was known for his love of motorized vehicles, cool cars and motorcycles. He was known for his keen mechanical knowledge. He was also a skilled welder, a heavy equipment operator, a tool and die maker and a millwright. He owned and operated a tow truck company and auto repair shop, helping to get many back on the road.

One of his greatest joys had been working with youth in the education system, helping to connect the disconnect in learning.

Our greatest helper, always rescuing family, whether near or far. Our lives will be left with a huge void from his absence.
