Later on, he developed his skills as a mechanic and there he has been working nearly most of his life at the Secretary of Transports (Ministere des Travaux Publics, Transport et Communications of Haiti).

On January 29, 1971, he was united to marriage to Josette Pierre at St Peter cathedral church in Petion Ville (Haiti). They established their home in the area Petion Ville community. Many happy times they shared together, as they raised their family of four three sons and one daughter.

He has raised a number of family members (nephew, nieces, grandnephew and grandnieces) whom have always shown their gratitude.

As soon as gotten married, he answered God call to salvation and upon confession of his faith was called to serve in the well known eucharistic group “legion de Marie” affiliated to St Peter catholic church in Petion Ville (Haiti).

He was also a loving and carrying person. Always enjoying helping others, thinking of others first. Which helped him to have a positive outlook and gave him fortitude when faced with adversity.
