Note: His obituary on the Papich-Kuba Funeral Service site is essentially the same as above, however it notes that Juanita and Tim were his daughter and son as opposed to stepdaughter and stepson. It also notes that a Celebration of Life memorial will be planned in the future but no date is specified at this point.
