His firm morals and beliefs carried him through his life. He enjoyed playing euchre, traveling, mushrooming, going on cruises, spending time at Copper Harbor, Michigan, but most of all, spending time with his family, including “the kids from the market”, who stayed close through the years.
He is survived by his devoted wife and best friend of 57 years, Diane; daughter, Kristine (Charles) Hoff and grandson, Nicholas (Jessica) Beverly. He was preceded in death by his brother, Donald Kaiser and sister-in-law, Rose Kaiser.
