He went on to attend college at Umass Amherst, and had a career at Raytheon, and in his later years at the J.V. Fletcher library.

He had an infectious sense of humor and a genuine love for life that shown through in how he treated people. Each day was lived to its fullest with moments of joy for himself and for those he interacted with. He had a phenomenal taste in music, loved fishing, gardening, brewing beer and most of all spending time with his friends and family.
