In 2000, he settled in Pinckney, Michigan, where he continued to enjoy life surrounded by those he loved. He was a man who loved working with his hands, fixing his tractors and building computers. He found joy in solving problems and bringing things back to life. If something was broken, he was the one everyone called, and he never hesitated to help. Above all, he was a great father.
