He was outgoing, and never met a stranger. When he met someone new, he found a common ground with that person and became fast friends. He was one of the most selfless people you will ever meet. He was always looking for an opportunity to serve his fellow man and the Lord. He looked for the good in everyone, and was always one of the first to welcome a new member or visitor to the ward meetings. His great attitude and cheery personality made it easy to meet new friends.
