He worked in construction all his life operating bucket loaders and managing gravel pits. You can find a piece of his work across Vermont. He also could be found mowing, brushhogging, hauling gravel or firewood, plowing and so much more. He was an active member of the Wolcott Selectboard and served as a cemetery commissioner. When he wasn't working, he would be found with his family. He loved going to fairs, watching softball and basketball and going for long rides around Vermont. Starting in early years he coached women's softball and played baseball, and later coached a men's league softball.
