He lived the last few years with his mother, Grace, taking care of her every need, all while maintaining a full time job, and caring for all the things around the house. He was a lover of nature, sports, music (he played guitar and trumpet), and most of all family (father of 4, grandfather of 4, and great grandfather of 3).
