Growing up in our Eastcliff neighborhood was a favorite memory. Days when children played outside, played games and sports safely with their friends. Spending summer days swimming at Eastcliff Pool and racing for the swim team. Fall brings back to school, McAllister Elementary, Cabarrus Academy, Concord Middle, Concord High, and on to Lees-McRae College. This added to his favorite memories, giving him a true love for the NC Mountains. On into early adult years he worked building playgrounds throughout the US and South America. He continued his career in sales at Ben Mynatt Chevrolet and Altell Cellular. Later he established his company of lawn care, landscaping, and building stone walls. A true love for nature and enjoyed each season of the year; snow skiing, boating fishing.

So many precious moments stored in our grief. We are grateful for all the gifts of love our friends have expressed to us over these days of our heartbreak.
