He was happy watching the birds and deer in his yard, getting his lottery tickets and a Red Sox and Patriot fan. Watching the winning game at home with his son was a special moment.

Our world has forever changed and will miss that boyish smirk of yours. We have peace knowing you and mom are together again and we know you are watching out for us all. Fly high with your birds and loved ones until we see you again.
