Born in Danbury, NH, he had many jobs and positions, including over 40 years of driving taxi, but his favorite one was working as a teachers aide in the Boscawen Elementary School, where he taught math, and other subjects.
He was a man of faith who preached sermonettes at church, the Living Church of God, which was his greatest love.
He was married 48 years to his loving wife Arolene Lombard. He loved water sports, swimming, skating, boating, and sitting by a bonfire at night at home in Danbury.
He loved fixing old cars with his father.
He was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Hazel; his brother Paul, sisters Bernice, Ruby, and Helen.
He is survived by his wife Arolene, sister Beverly, two sons, four step-children, grandchildren and cousins, especially one named Steve Cilly of Concord NH.
He was cremated and ashes were scattered on the water, which he loved, in his memory.
He will be greatly missed by his church, his wife, family and friends.
