After all the excitement and travel they moved back to their home on Torch Lake, where they enjoyed boating, paddle boarding, and playing pickleball. Working on cars, making furniture in his woodshop, taking care of his beautiful lawn, and walking in the woods with the love of his life were things he looked forward to everyday. He loved making Maple Syrup and was a voracious reader always reading motivational books on positivity. Anyone that knew him knew he wore his heart on his sleeve and was so genuinely kind, always with an encouraging word and willing to help anyone. His laugh was so contagious!

He enjoyed family the most, building with his grandson, watching his granddaughter play hockey, and reading to his great grandson.
