Though he never completed high school, he immersed himself in history and he loved reading about the Teutonic Tribe and the Knights Templar. As a great armchair warrior, he always had an opinion about politics and current events. He enjoyed baseball, burgers, bluegrass and the roaring of a Harley Davidson going by. He worked very hard to support all of us and he believed in everything we did. He helped us believe in ourselves. He was a great father and husband and will be missed dearly. He will be proudly buried in Fox Point, next to Private Richard Green, a local fallen hero. Special thanks to all the Palliative caregivers, VON and Dr. Humphrey. Funeral service will be held 11 A.M. Thursday, September 13th in the Ronald A. Walker Funeral Home, Hubbards. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
