He loved fishing, vehicles, a day gambling and a great find at an estate sale. He worked for many years for Stein Oil Distributing until that great day that fate shined down on Shakey and made him an Ironworker. Shakey’s Ironworker Family meant the world to him. He loved the work and the community. Nothing meant more to him than his actual family.
