was a member of the American Legion, and a lifetime member of the VFW. He had spent much of his professional career in CT as a steel erector, including 12 years as the owner operator of Plymouth Steel Erectors, before returning to his beloved Maine where he worked as a heavy equipment operator.

His passions were hunting, fishing, gardening and spending as much time as possible at the
