Grandfather of 16 and great-grandfather of 14 and one little peanut "on the way", who all loved him dearly. Also survived by other relatives and friends. Living independently at home; there was rarely a day a family member wouldn't check on him. Special Thanks to Terri, his Caregiver. Dad is fondly remembered for his love of Wanta family vacations in the Northwoods, Polka's, old time Cowboy movies and warm beer.
