He was a carpenter, handyman, plumber, and helped with farm work. Jason was willing to help anyone with any task and usually had the skills to get the job done.
He enjoyed golfing in John and Michelle’s pasture, watching WWE wrestling, drinking Pepsi, birdwatching and whistling with them, cheering for the Hawkeyes, and most of all he adored his kids and grandchildren.
