He was passionate about the community he lived in and he was always donating his time and service to many organizations within the community. While he will always be remembered as an active member of the community his family and close friends will always remember his optimistic and caring attitude towards life. He truly was interested in how you were doing, always had a story to make you laugh, and looked at life as a “glass half full rather than half empty”
