He then traveled back to Europe, serving in the Armed Forces.
Dad wore many career hats throughout his life, he was an incredible teacher with the amazing ability to make the gospel of Jesus Christ come alive. He loved music, history and literature. He was always charitable and kind in his treatment of others and he will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
