His love for music was evident as a 50+ year member of the Don Lipovac Orchestra as their bass player. Countless people enjoyed their music at weddings, festivals, public dances, and private parties.
He was active with his church and many organizations including a special relationship with the Optimists of KCK during the 70s. He had the ability to brighten any room he walked into with his smile, storytelling, and his generous nature. He always made you feel special. His family loved him dearly.
