A
lifelong farmer, F.M. took great pride in his cattle and in doing quality farm
work, not only for himself, but also for friends and neighbors. Even as his physical pain limited his
activity, he enjoyed being out on his tractor or in his pickup truck.
F.M.
enjoyed sharing a laugh with all whom he knew; he always had a ready joke or
story to tell.
