As an adult, golf became his game and he played frequently with a wonderful group of friends primarily in Richmond, Virginia. He also enjoyed doing things and actively participating in activities with his wife, his children and his grandchildren as well as relatives and friends in Virginia, North Carolina, and Maine. The church was always an integral part of his life both growing up in Maine in the Congregational Church and in Richmond, Virginia, the United Methodist Church. He offered along with Lynn and his family his time, service, participation, and means to the Church’s ministry.
He will be truly missed by all who loved and cared for him so much. Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, The United Methodist Church of Midlothian, Virginia, or the Charity of your choice in his name.
