He served in the Army, bought a house on the G.I. Bill, raised five kids, worked hard at Kuhlman’s Plastics to provide you with laundry baskets and us with something to eat, gave us airplane rides on his feet, built three rooms and a basement onto our house when we grew too large for what we had, taught me how to back a bent nail out of a 2×4, mowed our two-acre yard with a walk-behind mower, sang a beautiful bass in the church choir, planted a big garden every spring and kept it pretty-well weeded, and lived to see his children’s children.

Thanks so much, Jamie! That means lots to me.
Everyone said he was handsome. To me, he always just looked like my dad. Now days, looking at this younger shot of him, I see the reason for all the compliments. 🙂
Home's Cool! 
A lovely tribute.
Thanks, Tilly! It was a lovely childhood! 🙂
