What a wonderful, kind and caring man. I remember good times growing up with Vangie and visiting her dad. He reupholstered my car when I was a teen and it was like having a brand new car for me and Vangie to ride around in. I am heartbroken for Vangie and her family.

Bangor and Megan,
I’m so very sorry to hear about your dad. Your dad has been in my life for the past 60 years as well as in a lot of other people’s lives starting back then. He was a huge presence to anyone that was around him. I’m sure you will hear a lot of memories during this time and I hope you will cherish them. I have so many myself of the times I spent with him and Carol and the father of my children. We all loved Dog, the Elvis, the Preacher, the raw hamburger meat eater, and every girls crush.
