He and his wife had recently retired to Port Isabel, TX where they were enjoying the simple life of fishing, kayaking, and playing poker. He was always willing to go above and beyond for his children and was one of the best dads any of them could have hoped for. He was a good papa to his grandkids and he will be terribly missed.
