Anyone who knew Dad knew he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He and Mom shared their faith all over the globe as they traveled for work or pleasure.
Dad proudly served his country during World War II as a Sea Bee in the South Pacific. Upon his return, he studied and began his life's career in electronics. The last 30 plus years he again served his country, working with the FAA assuring aircraft could travel safely from one destination to another specific one.
Dad was known as a loving, joyful, gentle man. He did all he could to help any he found in need. His smile was contagious. He will be missed by family and a world of people whose lives he brightened.
