As long as we knew him, he considered himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. The biggest heart you’d ever know. The little league coach everyone wanted. He lived by the Golden Rule. His love for dogs was profound, though he respected every living thing. An avid reader who loved to talk about you and life. He made the world a better place, but would never say that. Rarely missed a joke at his own expense. Man, did he love dogs.
