He was a carpenter and a cabinet maker all of his life, retiring at the age of 93 years. He was best known for his custom designs of the doors now used on cabinets, and custom work throughout Southern, CA., Las Vegas, NV and Reno, NV, his cabinets were on the “Price is Right” with Bob Barker.
He was a man that had a quick smile and a kind word to give with his humor, and he would stand on his head to make the kids laugh. I never met anyone who wasn’t charmed by him, he love his family and friends and his “Ice Cream.”
You’re in God’s hand now.
