Ounin was well known for his onery personality and humor. He was a fierce family man who loved his time on the farm with his cattle and horses or completing wood working projects in his shop. Later in life you would often find him fellowshipping over coffee in the morning and ice cream in the evening. 
He was active in his church and loved the people, all the people. Qunin and Phyllis sponsored multiple mission trips, kids camps and assisted with Bible School. They both loved the LORD and wanted everyone to experience the same love and relationships they had with HIM. 
Qunin loved his family and would rather spend time with them than anything else. Holidays were always special to him because it meant everyone would be together and he could host a cookout and enjoy the fellowship. It is only fitting he brought us all together on July 4th with him one last time. He received the greatest Independence Day of them all. To know Qunin was to love him.
