He sought out the lonely and sad and did what he could to cheer them up. He was active in his Boy Scout troop and was only a few requirements from earning his First Class rank. He personified the scout Oath and Law through his daily actions. At church, he was serving as the president of his Deacon’s quorum. He lived to serve others.
