This wasn't the job most thought of when thinking of him, but by working hard for the next 12 years, he was able to solidify a simple but secure retirement. Upon that retirement, he traveled the great US of A the majority of his remaining years, like a wild bird, migrating out west during the hot southern summer months, and returning to enjoy the mild winters in his countryside home in Clermont, FL. Quick to love, he was married 3 times, having his only child during the last, at the age of 40. Ultimately, single suited him best, and was a bachelor for his last 28 years. And although the marriages didn’t last, he maintained friendship through the years with them all. Along all those years, he enjoyed or was known for many things, but especially swimming and bicycling; Sun and yoga (even known to be a little nudist); music and wasn’t shy to get up and dance; frugal and a procrastinator; into genealogy; sharing his smile and giving one to so many.
