He played semi-professional baseball with the St. Joseph Cubs and Jones Mortuary teams; including several elite baseball teams in the Pueblo area. He loved time spent with all his grandchildren and loved watching them grow to adulthood. Pipes would hope that you do a random act of kindness for someone down-and-out or an unfortunate soul, in his name. Thank you to Dr. Michael Barris for all the care given
