He co-owned and operated the East Road Greenhouse / Nursery in Cornish for 10 years before moving to Jaffrey in 1993. He served as an Assistant Scout Master with Troop 332 in Cornish for several years. He loved the outdoors, with fishing being his favorite past time.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Carol (Greenwood), sons Robert and Michael, daughters Tami and Lori (Dimick), brother Donald, sister Roberta, and several grandchildren.
