Yogi was more saintly than human to those who knew him. His selfless dedication to family & craftsmanship was a model for all those around. He took pride in his ability to accomplish any task, but most only know of his humility.
When his wife Elsa got sick, Yogi made it his mission to serve her every need. Elsa’s passing in August 2013 marked a turning point for Yogi. Despite many obstacles, including dialysis, Yogi remained strong and positive. He saw greatness in everyone and appreciated everything. He will forever be remembered for his authenticity.
