Everson, Washington - Our father grew his wings and soared into Heaven. Dad enjoyed his home in Long Beach, WA where he and his wife Carol attended Peninsula Baptist Church. Dad served in the USCG. He lived a life filled with the love of family and friends. His greatest accomplishment is all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who he loved and adored. Dad enjoyed studying the word of God, fellowshipping and serving others. He always had time for coffee, a story and to catch up on life. Dad liked to stay busy, and you would find him out on the tractor, tending the garden or under the hood. His absence will be deeply felt. We love you dad.

"There's a special kind of feeling

When I think about you, Dad

It's a pleasure to remember

All the happy times we've had

There's a special kind of caring

That is meant for you alone

There's a place somewhere

Within my heart

That only you can own

Missing you always". - Unknown
