"Walnuts" enjoyed
fishing, spending time at their trailer at Pine Cove Resort. You could find him
many mornings on the lake trolling. You could also tell when he was leaving Pine
Cove Bay when you could hear polka music playing from the pontoon. He loved his
garden at the lake and having fresh vegetables all summer. He was the all around
fix it man in the resort and for all family and friends. He also enjoyed being a
member of the Brown Haired MONARCHS hunting group, gun and bow hunting was his
passion. Walnuts enjoyed his trips to the Casino and playing various card games
at Harley's Bar and at the lake. "Walnuts" will be sadly missed by many who knew
him.
Lastly, Papa loved to take his two precious Granddaughters for long
visits to the lake. They went on many golf cart rides around camp, played at the
playground and hung out together. Papa always had a smile on his face watching
his "girls" playing at the beach, swimming and boating with them. His
Granddaughters were the light of his life and will be sadly missed by them.
