Age 89 of South St. Paul

On April 9. 2026 our silly, fun-loving dad passed away. At the time, he was with Mike and his 1947 Ford Convertible (AKA his fifth and favorite child) was parked just outside. As we knew his time was coming to an end, we talked about what his perfect heaven would look like and concluded it would be endless car shows, kids he could make silly faces at to make them laugh, lots and lots of dogs, TV and endless snacks It gives us such PEACE knowing he is in a place where there’s no such thing as dementia, tremors or pain. We love you dad!!!!!
