After the military he drove truck across the country for several years before moving to Maine where he went through the police academy at the age of 50. He started working for Buxton P.D. before moving to York County Sheriff’s Department where he retired from. He was on the board of directors for Caring Unlimited as well; it held a special place in his heart. He loved talking to anyone and everyone, especially other Veterans as he was a proud Vietnam Veteran. He loved riding his Harley with the CVMA MC and the Defenders Law Enforcement MC. He was very committed to his Faith and served on the Church security team. He loved playing golf. He also loved his Dunkin coffees, watching football and baseball. He fully enjoyed what he did and those he met in his days. He made time to show up for everyone that reached out, providing caring, trustworthy, and sound counsel. He simply wanted to brighten lives in his days and that he surely did. Peace and caring premeditated him, and kindness felt like it was his middle name. Everyone that knew him thought of him as a big teddy bear. He loved to joke around with everyone and was a huge flirt with the ladies. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him. Celebration of life will be on May 6, 2023, at Wilson Funeral home 24 Shaker Road Gray, Maine 04039. Visitation hours will be from 10-11 with the service from 11-12. We will follow our father to his final resting place with full military burial at Lower Gloucester Hill Cemetery, Gloucester Hill Road, New Gloucester, Maine.
