Working at WE Energies, I was able to see him once in a while, when I was in the Milwaukee area. Years ago after high school I played Land o Brooks baseball with him. We had a nice team and had lots of fun.
I'm sure he had a nice time over the years spending time at his cottage with family and friends.
Rest in piece my friend.
