Wouldn't it be wonderful to be connected in a way that goes beyond romance, beyond friendship, beyond what we've ever had before? And if it's to ever happen --- simply stated --- we have found our soul mate!!! I'm a rather laid back person, good with my hands, fixing or creating things. Very devoted to those I love... caring and patient. Enjoy a good walk or driving to different places. Sitting, relaxing to an open camp fire... holding hands and making a connection. Was employed for the last 25 years as a plumber for the city school district maintenance department in Oregon and have been in this trade for approximately 43 years. Looking forward to the next phase of my life. Been single for 21 years and ready to meet and develop a relationship filled with love, sharing goals, watch great movies, spend time at sporting events or maybe... to even slow dance under a full moon! And compassion would be a great quality to have in a partner! I enjoying sharing common interests in political, church and world events... and a conservative point of view. I like soft conversations, easy rock, new wave and smooth jazz. Looking for someone who has a good family background and has a plan or idea as to where they might see themselves in the near future. How I feel about the church... Our testimonies can only grow by understanding truth. Our Savior was willing to go the distance for us... and although we struggle with life's journeys... blessings can sometimes come in what looks like a burden; but the growth and development could never be earned any other way. I have struggled, but choose to keep my faith, for it is true... even if it means taking courage to stand alone. A testimony is so very important to our exaltation. It gives us encouragement, strength and a direction.

Occasionally I go to a dance, ride my motorcycle (when time permits), getting together with close friends, puttering around the yard, evening walks, weekend get aways and helping neighbors with plumbing. I've enjoyed taking my vacation time driving to the Rocky Mountains and visiting my 3 sons in Lehi, Murray and Evanston Wyoming...and playing with 5 of the cutest little grandchildren you have ever seen!!! I just retired to Brigham City where I had a small but comfortable home built. I still have a few family obligations in Oregon before my transition is complete. My family is my priority, they are my everything, and they are my gift from the Lord!!!
