November 27, 1942 - January 30, 2008

Our father always had a strong attraction to Ballard. He played football with the Ballard Boys Club and baseball with the Little League. He attended Ballard High School, from 1956 - 1959. From the mid 60's to early 70's he owned the "First Addition" tavern in Greenwood. He was a member of the Seattle Inboard Racing Association from the 1962 - 1980. He is survived by his three children - Stacey, Mike and Peggy (Milan) and three grand children Joshua, Robert and Nickolai. He is also survived by his brother Allen (Joan) and sister Karen (Jim).

"A long, long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance and, maybe, they'd be happy for a while". Our father lost his battle with cancer on January 30, 2008. He made us smile, and happy for a long, long while! His memory will always dance with us!
