For the past 13 years or so he spent most of his time outdoors with no shirt on, building his very special place in Adamana. There wasn't anything he couldn't build, fix, create or construct. He was a devout father and a remarkable friend and a confidant to all. There was never any obstacle that could stand in his way and there was never anything he would not give to help anyone in need. He will be forever missed by all who knew him.
