With an emphasis on treating people with dignity and respect. He enjoyed seeking talented individuals and cultivating skills in young upstarts. Helping everywhere he could.  He spent his later years enjoying life spending time with his children and pets. Enjoying every moment, he could. Even confronting his fear of the doctor to make sure he could keep as much time as possible. He was a Strong Man, Loving Husband, Fantastic Father.
