He was very proud of his time in the United States Army and always stressed to his children the importance of patriotic duty.
He was proud of his children and grandchildren, and the things they accomplished in this life. He was supportive and loving, and always there if you needed him to be.
Despite being disabled for much of his adult life, one of the greatest joys in his life was coaching – girls basketball and softball. Several hundred women will recall spending hours with Coach Pfoutz, learning good sportsmanship and how to be a team player.
At his request, a service will not be held. Donations in his memory can be made to your local parks and recreation departments, to support the encouragement of athleticism and sportsmanship for youths.
