Rowcliffe of Oakfield New York on 18 April 1981.

As a father, he taught us the meaning of hard work and the value of a dollar. He was always the first to put his hook in the water when fishing, and patient enough to help you untangle your line when you had made a mess of things. He had his favorite fishing spots, but we have been sworn under pain of haunting, to not reveal them, so you're on your own.

He loved to be outdoors, trapping, fishing and hunting, but he was at his best at the Sport of Kings talking to complete strangers and enjoying good coffee, with his Veterans group and few remaining friends.

He was very proud of being a Vietnam Veteran, and his time in the service. He was wounded in battle in 1965 and awarded the Bronze Star for his bravery, and a Purple Heart for his sacrifice upon the alter of freedom "Freedom is Never Free". He will be sorely missed by his surviving family and friends.
