Truman worked at General Motors as a Job Setter for 30 years.  He liked hunting at "the camp" but always was pleased when he did not shoot a deer.  Gardening, watching TV and feeding the birds and squirrels were some of his favorite pastimes along with a good conversation and listening to music.

He loved to share stories of the past and his military service in the U.S. Navy.  Words to describe him are hardworking, responsible, determined, and a person of faith, along with a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
