My father lived in Marquette, MI when he was growing up.  I have heard so many stories of how active my Dad was as a young man.  He loved to play sports, especially baseball.  I've been told that he was very good at baseball and one of is key positons was a catcher.  He aslo loved to skate and play hockey.  

As a child he had his own paper route where he once again built lots of relatoinshops and his customers loved him.  He took his work very seriously and had pride in his work.

He graduated from Graveraet High School where he has always held so many close friends / classmates close to his heart.  The three that he loved to share stories about was his buddies Jeep, Tom, and Mary Lou.  I know my Dad held his friends very close to his heart and cherished his friendships up to the very end.  

My Dad had always been a very liked person.  You couldn't go anywhere without him knowing someone.  I will forever remember how much he was loved by so many!!!
