K. Gill of Little Elm, Texas; granddaughter, Sarah L. Matthews of Baker, Louisiana;
sister, Carol Baysura of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; loyal friends, Bill Cox and

and Pomeranians; an all-breed professional dog handler; an AKC licensed dog show

over the years. He was also a member of the D/FW Judges Association.
