He was a lifetime member of Zoar UCC in Waldorf where he served many years as a council member. While he enjoyed camping and fishing in the outdoors, he truly adored the simple visits with family and friends around the dining room table. He was a wonderful father, Papa, brother, and friend but nothing compares to the love he had for Suzy.
