He lived most of his adult life in Indianapolis, IN. The last 3 ½ years he lived in Northern Kentucky with his niece Sydney and her family. He enjoyed fishing, the Cincinnati Reds ballgames and spending time with family either on a trip or just sitting around talking. Oh yea! Playing cards, Rook and Eucher. He seldom lost.
