He lived in Minnesota, Denmark, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Minnesota, the Netherlands, and Michigan before finally settling in Plano, Texas, for the last 26 years of his life. He loved to garden, where he would spend hours every day weeding, watering, planting, and clipping to make sure his yard was always perfect.

Papa will be missed.
