Dad’s happy place…
From tending to his garden to cutting the lawn - that was his happy place. Corn, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, potatoes, & lettuce… you name it, he planted it. The 1st year they lived on Bates Lane he was so excited to have a couple of acres to finally make that big garden like his dad. He spent hours in that yard and garden.

He underestimated his green thumb though and ended up with more veggies than they could eat. He was generous though and gave food to neighbors and family. He put a lot of love in that garden and backyard and it showed. From the trees & flowers he planted, the trellis, the grotto and bird houses to the swing he loved to have coffee on. He created an oasis… His oasis.
