His beloved wife of 38 years, Diane (Nee: Fesler), was with him in his final hours. He was born October 9, 1951 in Elyria, Ohio. He was a well-known bartender for many years in Elyria & had a following of customers that enjoyed his great personality & joke telling. He also held various warehouse supervisor jobs prior to his early retirement. He enjoyed fishing on Lake Erie with his dad & loved to eat the fried perch & baked walleye that his mom made with her special recipes. He liked singing bass in an Elyria barbershop quartet for a number of years & loved listening to classic rock. He was an avid fan of the Cleveland Guardians & Browns, OSU football & NASCAR.
