He, his wife Eleanor and family relocated to Inverness in 1972 where he spent hours in his huge garden. Neighbors and those that passed by always knew him by his garden and would wave or stop for a visit. There would never be a time he wouldn’t share arm loads of vegetables for them to take home to their families. He was a very generous man who loved his family very much. In later years, his main focus was being with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was so amazed and honored when he became a great-great grandpa..
