Mr. Park was a hard worker and made his career as a calibration/quality technician in numerous manufacturing fields. He had also worked on the Cog Railroad on Pike's Peak. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially fly fishing, as well as tying his own flies. He also enjoyed hiking and camping. In his younger years, he would hike the Manitou Incline to Bar Camp on Pike's Peak every New Year's Eve with his best friends. Having worked for the railroad, his interest in trains continued throughout his life as a model train enthusiast and as a passenger on trains all over Colorado. He was a loving and devoted father and papa. He was active in the Catholic Diocese of Colorado Springs for many years and joined St. Peter's Catholic Church after moving to Winamac. His faith was paramount in his life, and he was known as a man of God. Well done good and faithful servant.
