He was gifted in finding hidden talents of students, young and old, and encouraging them to reach for more. He was beyond proud of his grandson, Carver, for his “performances” as a goalie on the lacrosse field and adored coaching his granddaughter, Quinn, as she prepared for musical theatre college auditions at the end of 2017.

In lieu of flowers or donations, the family asks for friends and family to wait for more information on celebrating and remembering his life. 881 North Main Street The family remains grateful to the Brookdale Gaines Ranch staff for their warm hearts and care, as well as Brookdale 947-3160 Hospice for their care during the last several weeks.
