Before retiring, he and Doris moved to Ocala, Fl. He was employed by Keebler Company, which he enjoyed very much. He was Governor of the Moose club in Ocala for some years. His belief in this charity (Known as “Boys Town”) stems from being raised in a Children’s home from age 7 -14.
He loved to golf, have family reunions, go to birthday parties and holiday gatherings with family and friends. Christmas was his favorite family time. With so many family members, each year we would have a large “Yankee Trade-Off” party at their home. This was the highlight of each year. He will be truly missed.
