In his later years he worked for the Goochland County School system in the maintenance division, where he retired to take care of his ailing father. He was a devoted son, generous brother, beloved uncle, and loyal friend. He enjoyed spending time at the river with friends, going to the beach with family, hunting, playing bridge, woodworking, and birding in his yard. He took great pleasure in feeding the squirrels, crows, and blue jays peanuts every day. The family would like to express their deep appreciation to his neighbor, caregiver, and best friend, Jeanne McEntee, for the loving kindness, companionship and extraordinary care and daily management of his life and medical needs over the last four years. She undoubtedly kept him alive four years past his grim prognosis, for which we are so grateful.
