On july 4, 1977 he married the love of his life, Linda. They loved spending time together and was apart very little, even working together for a large portion of their marriage until losing a courageous battle with cancer. From his first diagnosis till the very end, he was never bitter or angry. he enjoyed every minute and stayed the sweet man that he was until he drew his last breath and moved on to the next place.
