He was a hard worker, loving, and he had a great sense of humor. He enjoyed working in his barn, working outside and he was an animal lover. Heaven truly gained an angel. He will be missed and loved always. We know he will continue to watch over us. We would also like to thank The Visiting Nurse Service and Hospice for taking such wonderful care of him in his last days.
