He retired from his career in Pharmacy working for Lawtons. Dad was also an active fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus his entire adult life. He bought a cabin on Witless Bay Line when his family was young and spent many enjoyable years there with friends and family and instilled in us an appreciation of the outdoors. He was a devoted husband and father and as per his wishes spent his final years in his own home. We would like to thank his caregivers especially Linda Hynes, whose excellent care made Dad’s final months far more comfortable. Special thanks to his friends at the K of C especially his card playing buddies who were there to the end.
