He was an active member on the Barnstead Historical Society Committee and served on the South Barnstead Cemetery Association Committee as President and Caretaker for many, many years. He took a lot of pride in his work at the cemetery and was also known to drive around town mowing other cemeteries that looked neglected.
He loved watching all sports and rarely missed any games of his favorite teams such as Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and the Bruins. He looked forward to playing Fantasy Football every year. On his free time, he loved to cut and split wood and was very well known for having a chainsaw in his hand or ready and waiting in the bed of his truck. When he wanted to relax, he loved to play cribbage and was even part of the NFC Cribbage league. You could usually find him listening to Pearl Jam whether it be a record, cassette, CD or DVD because he had them all. He was an avid collector of many things and enjoyed the hunt for new/old treasures, anything antique that caught his eye. He loved spending time with family and friends and would spend weekend mornings making his rounds to visit them. He was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone that needed it.
