His greatest love was to be on the road traveling in his van with his wife Lucy. They traveled all over the country, enjoying life and eating at every diner they came across. He loved vanning and cars, a passion he shared and enjoyed with his sons, and the community of vanners in his life was one of his greatest blessings.

He will be remembered for his duty (to his country, his work and family), his knack for coming up with a quick joke and his determination to make the most out of life, despite the inevitable ups and downs. He was adored by many, could make a new friend in a few minutes and just loved to stop and have a chat whenever possible.

Services will be held at the convenience of the family.

Donations in his memory can be made to the American Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, a condition he lived bravely with for several years.
