He managed and worked in sales for Quality Liquors, Inc. before retiring. Our father was a great man. He worked hard to take care of his family. He was an example and an inspiration to all of us. Dad was always there for us and would give us advice when asked of him. Dad was loving, caring, compassionate, wise, great sense of humor and witty. Sylver never knew a stranger. He enjoyed spending time with family, watching old western movies and solving word puzzles. Dad enjoyed playing his harmonica and working on projects around the house. He could fix anything.
