He loved fishing, camping, and backpacking with his family and friends who he loved very much. The outdoors was his happy place. He was the hardest worker and a man of many trades and could build anything and do everything you could think; if papa couldn’t fix it no one could. Even on his hard days he was always doing or fixing something, including house work.
