He grew up in Jamestown, N.Y., served honorably in the US Air Force during the Vietnam era then moved to Cleveland, OH. After raising a family there he lived in Kill Devil Hills for six years, and then retired to Cary, NC.

Many thanks for the excellent care he received to the staff at the Durham VA (especially the Hospice Unit and the COACH Program) and the Total Life Center at Bond Park.
