He enjoyed his home in Hanson, (where he served on the Finance Committee for several years) walking in the woods and driving his bulldozer. The annual Easter Egg hunt was one of his favorite events and enjoyed by all his family, particularly the grandchildren. Most of all, he loved and enjoyed his family.
