Photo taken May 2013

Yes, I am blessed with a youthful appearance, but I'm told my photos downplay my personality. Making friends is easy for me because I am very outgoing. Those I date say I am a very good catch. So why am I still single? It is because I don't want to make the same mistakes I made in my 38 year marriage. I learned it takes two people working together to build a relationship of trust and commitment that will withstand the test of time. I won't just fall in love for the sake of love. There must be mutual respect and substance to sustain it, but chemistry must be also present.

I communicate my feelings very well. I love a good laugh and am a darn good practical joker. My four wonderful children are happily married, law abiding, responsible kids who have strong testimonies of the gospel and teach their children correct principles. I too have a strong testimony and a firm faith in the restored gospel.

I long for a companion who wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him. Traveling, golfing, snowmobiling, watching movies together while cuddling on the couch, attending Broadway shows, being a part of family functions, and etc. are among some of my favorite things to do. My primary love language is quality time, with the remaining languages pretty well balanced.

I seek a worthy man who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, yet cleans up very nicely. Personal hygiene is of great importance.
