Thank You to the V.A. for the wonderful care and the V.A. DAV for the many rides.

Our dad was a U.S. Navy Veteran and a Chicago North Western (CN&W)
Railroad Man with a quirky and fun sense of humor, who in his early years loved to read, "Anything I could get my hands on," he would say.
He was also a talented artist, who in his spare time loved to draw. He
created many floral arrangements and he had a talent for great decorating.
People watching was his favorite hobby thru-out life. He was fascinated by humans. He also loved animals. He once studied to be a Baptist minister.
He loved drama and he was a mischief maker. He liked to fool people and collected various religious figures just to keep you guessing which religion he was, when all along having a knowledge of a forgiving and loving God. Later in life he took up the talent of loom knitting, consistently re-doing many projects until they met his standards of
perfection. He was also obsessed with horror movies, crime shows and documentaries to his last day. Many a care team member at New Perspectives and Unity Hospice were delighted in the fact that when they entered his apartment they would be greeted with an unusual remark or a funny response to questions, as he loved to make people laugh, and they loved the different choice of programming that made them want to sit and stay awhile or run the other way. He had a passion for jewelry, loving to show off his treasures to everyone and he had his own true style. We were very lucky to have had the time with him that we did and he is already so dearly missed.
See you again daddy...
