If he could teach a lesson or bring a smile, no costume was too over-the-top. If you caught him in the winter then you've witnessed his beard preparation to play Santa every Christmas. He brought his enthusiasm and determination to everything he did; from training dogs, to knitting scarves for his family, to his faith in his Lord and Savior.
