docks, fabricated the iron railing on many hotels, parking lots, and residences around the state,

caring man who opened his home to many over the years, if you needed a place to stay his house
was open. This changed over the years from people to even animals, especially his raccoons

greatest joy. He was a loving, proud, and incredible father who will be truly missed.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
A Time for Everything
31 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a
time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill
and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time
to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.
