He loved the outdoors especially water and beach activities. He also liked to cook up special meals on special occasions. Some of our neighbors have enjoyed his boat rides and cooking.

We would like to send Thanks to our friends and neighbors for their support this past week and request that any future thoughts of giving in his Memory be donations to a charity of your choice.
