He loved being dad to Barbara (George)Lee, Ann Chantler, David (Sue) Troester.  Better than being dad, he cherished holding his grandbabies, Heather Chantler, Holly Mitchell, Kristopher(Cami) Lee, Brooke (Jim) Chesbro and Alex Troester and his great grandbabies Makai and Addison Mitchell, Hudson and Ashton Chesbro, Iyla and Zoey Havekost.
