hours just so he could visit with his fellow Comrades. He enjoyed his discussions and playing dominos
with his friend’s at the Bronco Flea Market. It was never a dull moment with our Dad, he enjoyed telling
jokes, childhood and Vietnam stories and loved reminiscing about his beautiful wife. He was the best
