Dad retired from the Post Office in 1989 after 32 years of service. In the years that followed Dad enjoyed Beachcombing and metal detecting with Mom at his side. As the years past by his primary focus became the support and caring for his loving wife Jean.

Dad lived his life with a chuckle, a grin, and a light heart. Always putting others first.
