Though sadly missed, we celebrate his home going.

for his God, his wife, and his family.
He was, on two occasions, the Cass County, Indiana, golf champion; and he was
a runner-up Logansport, IN, city golf champion. His on-the-green putting was legend,
and on one occasion allowed him to defeat the great pro golfer, George Bayer, in
tournament play at the Logansport Country Club.
As a home builder, he was a "measure twice and cut once" craftsman.
He was appointed Logansport's first Building Commissioner and served the city

We are poorer without him; and heaven is richer to have him.
