Our dad enjoyed telling jokes to anyone that would listen, hosting parties in the party garage, Karaoke, gardening, photography, NASCAR and the Chicago Bears. His favorite place to spend time was Birchwood, Wis., with his fishing buddies, Charlie, Hattie, Rob, Pete, Rodney and many others. He loved Birchwood Resort and entertaining the people in the bar.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Frankie; his parents; sisters: Birdella Stephens, Ellen Ratliff and Ada Thrasher; and brother, Clyde Click.
