He loved being with his children and grandchildren, and being at home on R&R Ranch, riding the tractor, fishing the pond, tending to his animals and playing dominos with the boys on Sunday afternoon.  
His friends, family, grandchildren, nieces and nephews all loved to go to Ronnie’s and camp out at the pond, where many good memories were made.  
To know him was to love him, he will be dearly missed by his family and all his many friends.
