and the citrus industry. His love of nature was shared with all of his family. He enjoyed gardening, wildlife,
fishing, hunting, and watching sports and current events. His greatest joy was playing with his
grandchildren. A memorial service will be held 11:00 AM, Saturday, January 30, 2016 at Lighthouse
