He is survived by two daughters, Trudy (Mike) Bates, Donna (Doug) Tomak, former son-in-law Chris Bott, seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews.
He was greeted at the gates of Heaven by his parents, sisters Laura Goon and Gertrude Schumaker, and of course, his many lifelong friends.
