Dad celebrated life throughout his 98 years. He enjoyed farming, community life and the people in the community, his family, his church family and his personal Faith in God. In Dad's own words... "I've loved life... even with all the hard work... I've enjoyed life". Dad passed away peacefully with family by his side.
