From 1959-1961 he was a member of the First Battlegroup 18th Infantry Division serving in Berlin, Germany. Another great honor was to be chosen by his Company Commander as his personal driver. Our Dad was one of the hardest workers, always doing what he could to provide the best for his Family. A man who can always be counted on to help a family member or friend in need. He always found time in his day to attend and encourage us at our many activities during our younger years whether it was Cub Scouts, Pop Warner football and cheerleading, or high school baseball and softball. He taught us well. “Take care of each other” was one his many quotes. Everyone who knew him knew his love of beautiful cars.
