Dad was always fascinated with aviation. As a young man he had his own airplane (a twin engine Bonanza) which he flew around Michigan from the Owosso Airport. As he grew older, he watched with great interest the Space Shuttles – in fact, he hoped one day to be among those who traveled to outer space. Just a regular man working hart d to have a regular life, he would be honored to find his name at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. His children, Jane, Barb, John and Jim and grandson, Bobby miss him very much
