His life work and talent was as a Machinist. He was a welder by trade and was self-employed for most of his adult life, but his real passion was the Sea.

He sailed up and the down the East Coast frequently but Hudson, MA was always his home and this is where he resided for many years. His wit and sense of humor will always be remembered. He never met a stranger and had a smile or conversation for anyone.

And his long time friends Robert and Deborah Atwood of Hudson, MA for all their support and compassion.
