His favorite job that he had during his life was at Country Coach MotorHome Company in Junction City, OR. He was the Director of Customer Relations and enjoyed that job and the people he worked with. He excelled in every job that he had and got many awards. He was very intelligent and had a lot of common sense. If I learned anything from him it was that I should use common sense in everything I do.
Besides his family his favorite thing was Harley Davidson's and fast cars. He went to Sturgis, SD for the Harley Davidson Rally 5 times, but his favorite one was in 2003 when his son Troy went also. Great memories. His rottweilers were very important to him also. They were our 4 legged babies.
