He enjoyed being a local athlete and later in life took up handball with a passion, playing in state tournaments. He loved sports, boating on the river, all people, and all music. His infectious smile, positive energy and generous spirit will be missed. He was especially proud of his service to his AA family, serving numerous times on the board of the St. Croix Alano Society as President. He was a tireless fundraiser for the board and for Joseph H. Roach Hall and will be remembered by many for his many sponsorships, weekly meetings at Stillwater Prison, and Thursday night meetings – through thick and thin – at the Ascension Episcopal Church.
