Although he would never admit it, he loved animals. From the different menagerie of "beasts" as he would say, raised at different periods turkeys, ducks, pheasants, goats, cattle, sheep, bunnies and most other edible life forms. He even found the more than 20 wild cats who lived on the farm at one time or another. He wanted everyone to know how much he disliked them and yet he would be the one to buy food for them. He was preceded in death by his wife of more than 30 years, Lee. He is survived by sons, Jerry, Ed and Dane; daughter Debi; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
