He was always willing and happy to help family, associates, and friends in many ways, including using his amazing knowledge in electrical, mechanical, and computer systems. He always wanted to "do it right." He had an infectious laugh, a strong sense of justice, an unforgettable bear hug, and a heart as big as the great outdoors, though it failed him in the end. He enjoyed the company of family and friends, a good political discussion, projects at the Gull Lake cabin, and helping patients.
