He lived in Houston, TX for 13 years becoming a master welder and was a union member of Ironworkers local 84. He was assigned to NASA in Clearlake Texas assisting our U.S. Astronauts in perusing their flights in space. Fishing, his tractor and trips to the casino were his pleasures. He had a zeal for life and was always ready for a “get together” to show his gift of cooking and great food. He offered a helping hand to family and friends not expecting anything in return. He was greatly loved and will be dearly missed.
