he spent a lot of time in garden. His daughter Hazel said he could grow a palm tree in an igloo. I still remember when he had his stroke and was in the hospital he never complained about pain or horrible food or anything you would expect but was so upset because he could not take care of his garden. I remember especially his pear trees which he had several of I used to climb up in them and look into his beautiful garden I have as of yet found any pears that tasted as good as the ones he used to grow. I also remember he had a lot of aloe plants he had a small sun room on the back of his house and every window had rows of aloes plant. He was a good man you could always count on and who always tried to be fair like actually trying to measure ice cream he was serving to be sure every one getting same amount
