He moved through life with a presence impossible to ignore, filling every room with laughter, stories, and energy.
A man who worked hard with his hands, he was a true visionary, bringing ideas to life with inherited craftsmanship and heart.
Larger than life and unforgettable, everyone was always welcome at his table, and he left his mark on all who gathered around him.
— remembered as someone who could say, “I’ve loved these days.”
