He was especially attentive to his three younger siblings whom he taught to drive stick shift and was their chauffeur until they were driving age. His love for hockey was fulfilled with a bottle of Molson Golden and Hockey Night in Canada routing for his L.A. Kings.   We were blessed to have him in our lives and will miss him very much.   His family would especially like to thank the South Jefferson Rescue Squad for the many trips made to his home and have requested donations in his memory be made to the South Jefferson Rescue Squad, PO Box 126, Adams, NY 13605.
