He lived in the rural area of Dennison and in Marshall, Illinois, until moving in November 2019 to live with Linda & Joe Zuniga in Texas. In those months we’ve learned of things that he enjoyed… a good crop of corn, grain, or soy beans… a healthy group of farm animals to feed the family. He also enjoyed yard sales and farm auctions, and tractor pulls at the Fair. Years earlier his pride &joy was an Indian Motorcycle. He also enjoyed his friends and family and hearing from and seeing his grandchildren and attending family reunions and gatherings. No local services will be held.
