In 2002, he again relocated to Bishop, California to be closer to his son, David, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the many fabulous fishing opportunities of the Eastern Sierra.

An avid nature lover, his children will remember the many weekend outings, camping and fishing trips we enjoyed together. Our gratitude goes to dad for instilling in us a love and appreciation of nature, animals and the great outdoors.

He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Sonja and Marilyn of Bishop, Ca for their many kindnesses to our father and to all others who assisted him with getting to doctor’s appointments and running errands. May blessings visit you in return when the need arises.
