From his school years to his years serving, his days of playing ball, running around Cabin Creek, his many bartending jobs to even owning his own bar (Dano's)...Dad was very well known, and loved by so many. He loved his friends and loved laughing and having a good time. Other things he loved were going riding in the mountains eating pickles and drinking juice, spending time in his garage watching his big TV, shooting pool, singing karaoke, and pulling tips. He loved life and lived it to the fullest.
