My father was a man of incredible integrity and of a stubborn work ethic which was learned undoubtedly on the farm when he grew up. I remember the countless hours spent in the shop while my father built a business from one centerless grinder in the dark corner of a building in Burton MI. with his own two hands and he would never waiver until his dream was realized. He liked the people he did business with to be of good character and integrity for the rest he had no time for. He liked war movies, egg bread w/butter and the occasional coke w/candy bar. He loved to go fishing or hunting, but only when business was slow and time allowed. He was a man of few words, but he always told you truth and how he felt. I will miss his honesty and I will miss my father a great deal more than he will ever know. The years crept by as did the time and he was taken from me too early. I will love you always Dad.
