Sorry for the shit photos, but I hope y'all enjoy. I don't think he saw a lot of work from this, he was already very retired and comfortable, but he sure gave it a shot. Was a bodybuilder in his younger days, and became quite the stately gent in his later years.

My mom found these over the weekend. Neither of us had ever seen them before.

Highschool, college, navy. You can see in the last one where he only has one leg…..but he never lost that smile. 🤙🏼

Edit: I love all these replies, and he would have, too. 😂
He was my best friend growing up. Seeing these new pics from when he was young made me so happy.

Edit #2: my mom has another pile of photos, so when I go through those, I’ll post some more. ❤️
