He had a great passion for new experiences, new foods, travel, new people, creating, experimenting, and prototypes.

In the last two weeks home in Glen Orchard was an open house. Many many family and friends were able to visit, have a snack, and even enjoyed a story or two. We thank you all for making this last time with Dad perfect. He couldn’t have wished for more!

He will be greatly missed!
