Dad was a man of many hats, helping out with projects and activities throughout our lives. He could do it all. He was a scout leader, a golfer, a bowler, a skier, a camper, a clam digger, a model train builder, a pinochle shark, and a root beer brewmaster. Way to go, Dad! You were the best: husband, dad, and grandpa.
