He was dedicated to his job but his true passion was camping and doing things with his son Drake.  He loved helping prepare for school projects. His mother remembers he was always ready to help her or someone else who needed a hand. He loved his time in Alaska, fishing, clam digging and just hanging out by a fire on the beach. His love and dry sense of humor will be so very dearly missed.” He was preceded in death by his father Edward E.
