Artistically gifted, he created Stained Glass Art and was successful designing windows, lamp shades, etc. He had a deep love of GOD. Always seeing the good in people. He would always say,
“Beauty is simply Reality seen with the eyes of Love”. He believed that GOD wants you to Love REAL people not IDEAL people. He loved AMERICA and enjoyed HISTORY. He enjoyed expanding his mind with books of Mysticism and had a keen interest in researching and learning about ALIEN EXTRATERRESTRIAL Life-forms.

His thoughts:
LOVE WILL LAST FOREVER
Love leaves a legacy. How you treat other people, NOT your wealth and accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

Quotes he would love to say:
Your kindness is preceded by your good looks.

All Great men have had Great libidos.

When people would comment on his short stature he would say…..
“As the tree bent low with the burden of ripening fruit, it’s the baron tree that lifts its head high in empty boast”.

Persons idiosyncrasies lend a rich complexity to the patterns of life.
Autobiography from YOGI

If you want to live and thrive, let a spider run alive.

Life is like a TIGER. You either let its paw hold you OR you run like a TIGER.
