An avid gardener with a green thumb. Loved to be among the fruit trees, vegetables, roses, and flowers. Tended the grapes and made some excellent wine, which he shared with all. Loved the outdoors, fishing on Cape Cod. He was an avid Red Sox fan. He really enjoyed deer camp with a blazing fire.
You touched many a heart in your 95 years, and your love was always so strong. We cherish all the loving memories that will forever beat in our hearts. A gardener you will always be to us, one that’s tended to so green and lush. You will always live in our garden of life with love.
