After a very full and rewarding life (a man who lived several lives really with many wonderful, diverse and vast chapters) he handed in his ticket on September 17 at age 90. His vibrant energy, charm, curiosity, and thoughtful storytelling ways will be dearly missed...by his immediate family so close to him: Wendy (Dan), Alison, and Griff (Claudette); his grandchildren Myles, Reese, Marina and Adam; most recently his great grandson, Ryker; and by his dearest of friends and family, who are all left to mourn his passing.

A business entrepreneur, architect, engineer, naval officer and pilot, business owner, gifted artist and craftsman, were just a few of his main pursuits, careers, and interests. He always had a project on the go and none of them were too big or small for him to take on (with gusto and enthusiasm), and he was always willing to offer his services to those around him. Generous to a fault, a man of character and wise beyond his years, he was a presence that was bigger than life itself. He soars into the bright blue skies now...he will be missed so very much. What a journey he had. A private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
