In spare time he worked with his son and grandson Paul at A-OK Lawn Service. At the time of his death, he was employed with Bechtold Paving. His daughter will miss his spirituality, smile and most of all his comforting voice. As the seasons change she will have great difficulty as they shared their love and appreciation of GOD's gifts of scenery.
