His years of service with the company earned him many Service Awards. As a craftsman and woodworker he creative numerous items and furniture pieces. One example of his talent was spotting trees that had knots and other interesting features that he carved into exquisite lamps. His friends will remember him as a bold character who spoke his mind and said what he thought.
