He and Mary Jo also enjoyed their activities over the years at the PC Yacht Club. He had just recently relocated to Lilburn, GA to be close to family and passed away peacefully before getting to fully enjoy this new home. He loved people and got along with everyone. He will be sorely missed by friends and family all. His wishes were for no formal service and his remains will stay close to his wife and sons. He was raised in the Baptist faith.
