There to help, every step of the way

Like Maya Angelou said, “If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can’t be erased.” There is little doubt that our dad lived life well. He left his mark on all of us, a legacy that can never be erased. Those who knew him well were changed by his love of family, nature, laughter, his strong moral compass, strong work ethic, and his kind and giving nature.

Here’s how his children describe the legacy he left:

When I was a child, I idolized my dad. He wasn’t home much; he worked hard, driving logging trucks from sunup to sundown. When I was about 12, I went to work with him and got to ride in his truck for a day. I was as happy as I’d ever been. Driving around in that beast of a truck, I was hooked.
